assessment of air pollutants, particularly the criteria air
pollutants, by maintaining expertise in ecology, leading efforts to
evaluate evidence on environmental effects of these pollutants, and
contributing to the integration and synthesis of evidence on the
ecological impacts of these air pollutants. The Ecologist will
provide scientific expertise to assist EPAâs air pollution program
office on risk assessments and other program needs related to
epidemiologic studies on the environmental effects of air pollutants.
