Extractions: What will I be doing? So you want to study pollution? Ecotoxicologists study pollution and its effects on different ecosystems. Toxicology involves the study of toxic substances on living organisms. New chemical substances developed by man typically undergo toxological tests before they go to market. Such substances include drugs, cleaning compounds, pesticides, food additives, and all sorts of other things that we use every day. As man strives to advance technology and invent new compounds, waste by-products are often generated. Many of these wastes end up in the environment where they cause damage. We call these unused wastes "pollution" when nature and the environment is unable to process and assimilate them without adverse effects. Ecotoxicologists study the effects of these ever-increasing compounds on ecosystems. As an ecotoxicologist you will look at where these pollutants end up in the environment and what sorts of damage they cause to the ecological balance of an ecosystem. Some pollutants accumulate in the food chain, as smaller organisms are eaten in large numbers by larger oganisms, the concentration of pollutants builds up in the living tissue in higher concentrations as they move up the food chain; this is called bioacumulation . In some cases, the pollutants build up in a particular organism in higher concentration than the surrounding environment (air, water, soil, etc.); this is called

Extractions: ardea consulting was established in 1997 to provide science-based consulting services specializing in ecological risk assessments, avian and wildlife toxicology and ecotoxicology. We work with clients to provide technical solutions to address regulatory and other ecological or environmental toxicology issues. Since its founding, ardea consulting has worked principally on evaluating pesticide effects on birds and other wildlife. The experience gained is readily transferable to other contaminant groups. Projects have included field evaluation of potential exposure of wildlife to pesticides, metals, or PCBs, participation in ecological risk assessments, and preparation of research papers on various topics. In the summer of 2001, we relocated f rom Morrisville, Pennsylvania to Woodland, California. Our ecotoxicologists travel as needed; work has been conducted throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Extractions: The Applied Ecotoxicology Group is involved in a number of different research projects in the field of soil ecotoxicology, specifically in the application of ecotoxicity tests for ecological risk assessment (ERA) and the monitoring of bioremediation approaches for contaminated sites. The basic understanding and prediction of toxicological effects of complex mixtures of environmental pollutants on key components of the ecosystem are some of our other major objectives. For this purpose, we use different bacterial, plant and earthworm toxicity tests, as well as biochemical markers of exposure and toxicity, to characterize the environmentally hazardous effects of soils contaminated with chemicals. Our research interests include the ecotoxicological impact of organic pollutants such as petroleum hydrocarbons and nitro-aromatics, as well as semi-solid matrices (sludge and soil slurries) containing mixtures of both organic (phenols) and inorganic (heavy metals) substances. Different laboratory and field-based experimental approaches are being applied towards ERA of urban contaminated sites. Other environmental toxicants of interest include PCBs, dioxins, TPHs and heavy metals. The above areas of research will provide the basis for improved design and eventual application of new cost-effective ecotoxicological approaches to characterize the biological impact of pollutants on the environment for accurate and scientifically defensible environmental risk assessment
Extractions: Development of Advanced Eutrophication Models - QEA assisted the U.S. EPA by extending a traditional eutrophication model by dynamically modeling the components of the food web responsible for most of the carbon oxidation, oxygen utilization and nutrient recycling: bacteria, protozoan, and metazoan zooplankton. EPA Aquatic Effects Assessment Model - QEA personnel developed a mathematical modeling framework for assessing the effects of toxicants on the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems. Southern California Bight Natural Resource Damage Assessment - QEA evaluated exposure pathways for p,p'DDE and total PCBs. Extensive contaminant data sets were integrated into a series of graphical representations that were presented in court testimony. Bioaccumulation models were developed for fish, birds and California sea lions to quantify pathways of exposure.
