NARRATIVE
James Quackenboss is Research Environmental Scientist, in the Exposure Measurements and Analysis Branch in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL). He serves on the Interagency Coordinating Committee for the multi-agency National Children’s Study (NCS); and is working with the NCS Program Office, Coordinating Center, and Study Centers on exposure assessment for the NCS. He chaired a joint committee to conduct a workshop on the sampling design for the NCS, and led the development of design options and background documents for consideration by the workshop panel and the NCS Advisory Committee. At EPA, he contributed to the development of the National Human Exposure Assessment Survey (NHEXAS), was the principal EPA collaborator for a NHEXAS pilot study, and coordinated the development of the Minnesota Children’s Pesticide Exposure Study. Prior to coming to the EPA in 1991, he was involved in the application of exposure assessment techniques to epidemiological studies at the University of Arizona, and conducted personal exposure and indoor air quality studies at the University of Wisconsin.
