      TestAmerica Laboratories, the leader in environmental testing, is pleased to announce the next webinar in its Ask the Expert series.  Mr. Mike McGee, Lab Director at TestAmerica's Cedar Falls laboratory, will present a webinar entitled A Review of Lead Sampling, Analytical and Data Evaluation Approaches.  The webinar, offered free to all interested parties, will be presented live on Tuesday, October 24 at 1:30PM EST, and will be followed by a question and answer period with Mr. McGee.

      Mr. McGee's presentation will focus on the many aspects of environmental analysis for lead in a variety of matrices.  Lead is a significant environmental and occupational contaminant that has been recognized as a toxicity hazard for thousands of years.  Historically, lead has had many beneficial use applications in products such as paint, ceramics, pipes and plumbing materials, solders, gasoline, batteries, munitions and cosmetics.  However, as lead enters the environment, it can cause toxic effects on surrounding ecosystems, food and water sources.  As a result, it is often necessary to evaluate lead concentrations through the analysis of material, wipe and air samples to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations, as well as site clean-up specifications.  In his webinar, Mr. McGee will provide an overview of air, wipe, and paint sampling approaches for lead, as well as the applicable regulatory levels and data evaluation approaches.

      Mike McGee has 33 years’ experience in the Industrial Hygiene field.  He has held positions as an Industrial Hygienist for a large industrial firm, Industrial Hygiene Consultant, and is currently serving as Lab Director for TestAmerica Cedar Falls.  Mr. McGee has been a Certified Industrial Hygienist since 1983. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Iowa, and a Masters of Science in Public Health from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
