Elliot Sigal, B.Sc., QPRA, is the Vice President President and Senior Toxicologist for Intrinsik Corp. Mr. Sigal graduated with an Honours B.Sc. in Toxicology from the University of Toronto in 1988 and has over 25 years of experience in toxicology, human health and ecological risk assessment, and risk communication. Mr. Sigal has been responsible for leading risk assessment teams in determination of potential for exposure of and risk to receptors associated with complex contaminated sites, mining/smelting facilities, military base closures, underground storage tanks, incinerator/WTE emissions, landfill sites, consumer products and industrial processes. He has overseen and contributed to hundreds of risk assessments, including many successfully completed in compliance with federal and provincial regulations in Canada. Mr. Sigal's lecture will provide an introduction to the underlying concepts and general approaches for Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment (HERA). Participants of this lecture will gain an understanding of the role of HERA in contaminated site assessment and remediation, basic components of HERA, complexity of planning a HERA, identifying HERA objectives, basic approaches to toxicity and exposure assessments, receptor and risk characterization, and dealing with uncertainty in HERA.
