Tom Hinners has been involved in the application, evaluation, and development of measurement methods for inorganic pollutants in environmental and biological samples for more than 34 years. These efforts have included the use of atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICPAES), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) applied to air pollution, accumulation of pollutants in biological specimens, hazardous-waste assessments, and methodology evaluations. He received his education at The George Washington University: Chemistry B.S. 1964, Pharmacology M.S. (ABT) 1967.
