Biography
Research on sustainability, environmental public health ,analytical, environmental management of pollution , environmental engineering and health and life sciences. Knowledge and experience in all aspects of environmental health management gained within various sectors including consultancy, education, construction, the industry sector. Involved in all aspects of health, safety and environmental consultancy, training and teaching. Worked with public health, climate and sustainability consultation to produce and review policies and procedure in computing and engineering sectors.
Using a wide and complementary range of analytical (chemical, physical and biological) techniques to investigate environmental issues and process transport pollution and environmental problems, including chemical and physical analysis methods for direct determination of issues pertaining to our environment . We have identified and defined factors controlling and exposure to environmental pollution in the area of water pollution, noise pollution and air pollutant. We have also determined number of potentially toxic elements and climate change influencing terrestrial and marine ecosystems. These have applications in the environmental impact of waste discharges to air, land and water bodies and their implication for industry and public health. There are noise level which was also discovered to have impact on hearing capabilities of people and hypertension. I encourage a strong interests in environmental management, environmental noise and air quality, particularly of the occupational and environmental noise. Worked in advisory capacity for EPA and policy and government departments on environmental quality; regular consultant/contractor for industry in fields of waste and environmental management. Have knowledge in international, UK Government policy, legislation and regulation, and public body duties in climate change and sustainability. Specialties: Monitoring and assessment, advisory energy and climate change, contaminated land, public health, air quality management, noise assessor, aquatic contamination & monitoring, environmental geochemistry & health, environmental analytical chemistry, waste & environmental management, science-policy
