I’m an Environmental Consultant and I work on assessing whether or not chemicals are likely to cause problems if they get into the environment by poisoning plants and animals. I also work on setting acceptable levels of chemicals in the environment that we call Environmental Quality Standards. I mostly work on heavy metals, industrial chemicals, and medicines.
