Awards and Presentations

The presentation "Occupational and Environmental Risk Assessment of Elemental Mercury at the Edison National Historic Site in West Orange, NJ" was presented at the Smithsonian American Art Museum on November 8, 2016. Elemental mercury was used in the research of batteries.
