Teresa S. Bowers, Ph.D.
Dr. Bowers has nearly 20 years of experience in exposure modeling, mathematical and geochemical modeling, and the application of this information to risk-based environmental strategies and development of site-specific cleanup levels. She is the author of more than 40 journal articles on these and other topics. Her areas of expertise include modeling of blood lead and urine arsenic levels resulting from exposure to environmental sources of lead and arsenic. She is the author of an adult blood lead model now being used by EPA, and she has worked on a number of sediment sites involving PCB contamination where she has developed unique statistical approaches to calculating soil cleanup levels. She is frequently invited to speak on these topics by both industry and government groups. Prior to joining Gradient, Dr. Bowers held research and visiting faculty positions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, where she taught courses in resource geology and applied thermodynamics.
