Professional Work History (laboratory specific)

Laboratory Chemist
PSC Environmental Services, Inc.
Hatfield, PA
2009 to 2012

Operated a range of instrumentation and performed chemical analysis on samples- according to

the waste analysys plan following EPA SW-846 methods where applicable. EPA/ASTM meth-
ods for cyanide, sulfide, pH ignitability, reactivity. KF water, TCLP, GC/MS for pesticide,
herbicide determinations, mercury by 245.1 method,wet chemistry procedures, acid digestion
when needed. Used LIMS database along with waste profiler 2.0. Maintained a laboratory note-
book in accordance with EPA guidelines. Followed method 1311-Toxicity Characteristics
Leaching Procedure for soilds containing metals and VOC. Responsible for running tests in the
analytical and organic laboratory on customer accounts where I was the project manager follow-
ing EPA SW-846 for Metals, Organics. ICP MS to sample treated facility water for discharge.
Routinely replace sample tubing, waste tubing, sample tips, nebulizer tips, sample and skimmer
cones, torches. Prepare calibration samples of DI HNO3 Gallium and Indium Rhodium/Cerium
oxide, reference samples to calibrate instrument for the fast detection of all metal contaminates.
Isotope Testing on soil samples operating in standard, collection or reaction mode dependent on
level of interfering ion species.

Squibb's (New Jersey) hazardous waste operations and disposal.
Submitted reports and investigated non compliance with environmental policies
and procedures.
Consulted with chemistry lab managers to streamline chemical handling, usage and safe compli-
ant storage of all chemicals.
Kept management current on status of environmental compliance functions and generated com-
pany specific reports on environmental programs.
Coordinated and performed inspections and environmental and safety audits.
Managed two of PA DEP’s major environmental programs Household Hazardous Waste Col-
lections and agriculture pesticide collections (Chem. Sweep)
