EPA Site Contamination Manager Andrew Pruszinski was named a Fellow of the Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (CRC CARE), at the Clean Up 2015 conference, in Melbourne recently.
CRC CARE is an independent organisation which has 28 partners, including the EPA (SA) as a founding member that conducts research, develops technologies and provides policy guidance for assessing, cleaning up and preventing contamination of soil, water and air.
CRC CARE is also regarded as a leader in the field of risk-based strategies for managing contaminated sites.
A CRC CARE Fellowship recognises individual contribution towards the development of best practice policy and risk assessment methods for human health and the environment.
“This is quite an honour and I had no idea I had been nominated until my name was announced at the (CRC CARE) conference dinner,” Andrew said.
“I was both surprised and humbled to receive this,” he said.
“It’s a privilege to work with CRC CARE and the highly talented site contamination professionals at the EPA where I believe together we can continue to develop world-leading solutions to very complex problems relating to the legacies of chemical contamination.”
