The publication objective was to integrate the information from relevant subdisciplines into a unified reference framework containing all the steps that are needed to conduct a complete risk assessment and management of contaminated soils. This product adds to the standard ERA paradigm with focus areas addressing soil management, fate and transport of contaminants, and measures of bioavailability. Using a broad definition of soils because most contaminated sites are not natural soils and have been subjected to anthropogenic modifications, this book focuses on assessing risks to biological receptors from the presence of chemicals in soils.
Contaminated Soils: From Soil–Chemical Interactions to Ecosystem Management is one of many SETAC publications that offer timely reviews and new perspectives on current topics relating to broad environmental toxicology and chemistry issues. SETAC publications often are based on the collaborative efforts of top scientists and policymakers, and they undergo extensive prepublication peer reviews. SETAC assumes an active leadership in the development of educational programs and publishes the peer-reviewed, international journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry.
Current research interests in his laboratory lie in applied and theoretical aspects of chemical exposure assessment and organismal effects assessment in various environmental media. Specifically, research in his laboratory examines the relationship between chemical and biological measures of bioavailability and toxicity endpoints such as lethality, growth, reproduction, or biomarkers. Studies include work with aquatic and terrestrial systems and both metals and organic chemicals. Researchers in his laboratory have developed and applied solid-phase extraction techniques as biomimetic or biological surrogates for estimating the bioavailability of organic chemicals and metals.
Dr. Lanno has been a member of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) since 1988, serving as a member of the Editorial Board for the journal Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry and organizing and presenting short courses in Soil Ecotoxicology and Nutritional Considerations in Toxicity Testing.
