CAPABILITY STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL RISK SCIENCES PTY LTD CLIENT What we do? Environmental Risk Sciences provides cost-effective human health and environmental risk assessment services as tools to identify the most appropriate approaches for sound environmental decision making. We believe that there are substantial flexibilities that can be considered and that, through the use of science-based approaches, risk assessment can be a powerful tool for the assessment of a wide range of contaminants in the environment from existing and proposed sources to assist in planning for the development of sites, the closure of sites, site remediation, and management of environmental liabilities. Services include the following: Human health and environmental risk assessments for contaminated sites Human health and environmental risk assessments for existing or proposed industrial facilities Development of site specific remediation criteria and identification of risk management measures Undertaking vapour intrusion assessments including collection and evaluation of data and modelling Development of human health and environmental based guidelines for soil, water or air (national and site specific) Assessing pesticide risk and providing technical registration support Chemical toxicity reviews Risk-based ranking, planning, and evaluation Development of methods, models, and guidance Evaluation of exposure and risk issues related to incidents Identifying, evaluating, and managing persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) substances Modelling environmental pathways and assessing exposures for a wide variety of pollutants Health impact assessment and support Specialist technical review and Auditor support Our risk assessment group is committed to problem solving in the most appropriate and realistic manner possible using state-of-the-art/best practice principles; current regulatory guidance (national and international); and information from the scientific literature. Current Projects Recently our work has included: . Risk assessments for sites contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, metals, chlorinated solvents, dioxins, PFCs and pesticides around Australia Risk assessments for existing and proposed industrial sites Development/review of Health Investigation Levels for the NEPM (Assessment of Site Contamination) Development of remediation guidelines for clandestine drug laboratories Development of guidance for undertaking petroleum vapour intrusion assessments at contaminated sites Risk assessments for fumigants Development of a health impact assessment for a significant commonwealth development Specialist auditor support for a range of high profile contaminated sites Providing training to undergraduates, post graduates and professionals Our People Jackie Wright has over 25 years’ experience in human health and environmental risk assessment in Australia. Experience includes leading and developing a national risk practice group for a major consultancy, training of staff, providing technical (and toxicological) direction, developing national guidance (including the 2013 NEPM Revision and CRC Technical Reports), participating in the development on industry guidance and standards, developing appropriate risk models and providing high level peer-review. Areas of expertise include toxicological review and evaluation of chemicals in line with Australian regulatory requirements, human health and environmental risk assessment, pesticide exposure assessments, exposure pathway modelling including vapour migration and intrusion modelling and measurement, indoor air quality assessment, environmental monitoring, and the assessment of air emissions and air toxics. She has been involved in the sampling, evaluation and assessment of vapour intrusion risks at a wide range of sites that include petroleum hydrocarbon, chlorinated hydrocarbons and elemental mercury contamination. In addition Jackie is currently undertaking further PhD research work in relation to public health (in particular child) exposures associated with the operation of clandestine drug laboratories in Australia. Therese Manning has 25 years’ experience in human health and ecological risk assessment in Australia and has worked in the area of analytical and environmental chemistry since 1987. Experience includes undertaking risk assessments, reviewing risk assessments, training staff, providing a centre of excellence within the NSW EPA in risk assessment, environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology, the regulatory context for technical issues and technical policy development. Therese’s expertise includes risk assessment approaches for chemicals; assessment of fate, transport and toxicology of hazardous chemicals; fate, transport and toxicology of persistent organic pollutants; regulation of chemicals management; communication of risks and chemical processes; promotion of science relating to chemicals; science of endocrine disrupting chemicals; organic and inorganic chemistry; analytical chemistry techniques; design of chemical monitoring programs for pollution control licenses; and technical writing and editing. Ruth Jarman has 13 years’ experience in providing practical high level technical advice to assist clients in the Environmental and Contaminated Land Industries. She specialises in the completion of human health and environmental risk assessments (including toxicology assessments, vapour intrusion modelling and exposure assessments, collection of environmental monitoring data for risk assessment, and risk communication) and providing support for Environmental Auditors. Since commencing work in the risk assessment field in 2007 she has completed over 30 risk assessments for sites in Victoria, NSW and Queensland for a large variety of chemicals (including metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, perfluorochemicals (PFCs), dioxins and furans and PCBs) and exposure pathways. Between 2007 and 2009 she completed a Masters in Applied Science (Toxicology) part-time to cement her expertise in this area. She has provided support to 4 Environmental Auditors on over 20 s.53X or s.53V Statutory Environmental Audits and has previously worked as the senior project manager for simple through to complex contaminated land assessment and remediation projects.
