Bradley E. Sample, Ph.D.
Dr. Sample, an ecotoxicologist/ecological risk assessor with Ecological Risk, Inc., has over 20 years of diverse experience designing and leading large-scale risk assessments for both private and public-sector clients. His work includes evaluation of exposure and effects to wildlife, aquatic, sediment, and soil biota from radionuclides, metals, munitions, chlorinated organics, and petroleum compounds. A focus on negotiation, issue resolution, and site closure are the hallmarks of his approach to projects. In addition, he is author of more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and presentations, including the chapter entitled “Radionuclide Effects in Wildlife,” in 2nd edition Environmental Contaminants in Wildlife, edited by W. Nelson Beyer et al. (2011). He served on the steering committee and developed the wildlife exposure model for the USEPA’s Ecological Soil Screening Levels (EcoSSLs), and developed the wildlife modeling component for the US Army’s Adaptive Risk Assessment Modeling System (ARAMS). He has twice served on peer-review committees for the ecological risk assessment and bioaccumulation modeling components of the USEPA’s Hazardous Waste Rule. In 2004, he served on an independent peer-review committee evaluating EPAs ecological risk assessment for the General Electric Housatonic River site. Also in 2004, he served as a peer review committee member for the development of USEPAs national metals risk assessment framework. In 2008, Dr. Sample served on the USEPA Science Advisory Panel reviewing the Office of Pesticide Programs Preliminary Notice of Intent to Cancel the pesticide Carbofuran, and was an invited participant at the USEPA Risk Assessment Forum’s workshop on population-level ecological risk assessment. In 2012, he was the exposure modeling work group co-chair at the international workshop ‘Ecological Soil Levels—Next Steps in the Development of Metal Clean-up Values’ (2012). In January 2013, he was an invited participant at the international workshop on terrestrial bioaccumulation sponsored by the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute. Dr. Sample is a co-author of a book on ecological risk assessment at contaminated sites, and has served as an Editor for Hazard/Risk Assessment for the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) since 2006.
