Bommanna Loganathan is a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Watershed Studies Institute at Murray State University. His research interests include distribution and temporal trends of persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals in the environment and biota. He has authored/co-authored over 120 publications including, journal articles, conference proceedings and book chapters. He is also a fellow of the American Chemical Society.Jong Seong Khim is an Associate Professor in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Seoul National University. He is an expert in the fields of Marine Benthic Ecology and Environmental Risk Assessment. His research interests include a broad spectrum of environmental and ecological topics: biodiversity, bioassays, ecological quality, marine pollution, sediment assessment, and ecosystem services.Prasada Rao S. Kodavanti is a Senior Research Toxicologist at the US EPA in Research Triangle Park, NC. In this role, he leads a team of scientists developing in vitro models based on adverse outcome pathways for screening and prioritization of chemicals. Dr. Kodavanti is a well-recognized scientist and has published over 105 peer-reviewed journal articles, 19 book chapters, and 8 review articles.Shigeki Masunaga is a professor in the Faculty of Environment and Information Sciences at Yokohama National University. He has been conducting research in the field of monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PCPPs) and metals, behavioral analysis of those chemicals, and their human health and ecological risk assessment. He has been a member of the American Chemical Society for more than 25 years.
