About

Dr. James Meador is an environmental toxicologist with NOAA Fisheries in Seattle. He earned a PhD in aquatic toxicology from the University of Washington and has more than 30 years' experience in the field. Jim's research interests include exposure assessment and characterization of toxic effects for metals, PAHs, tributyltin, PCBs and contaminants of emerging concern. Currently, his research is focused on metabolic disruption and using tissue residues as the dose metric for toxicity assessment.

He has worked on research with DEOHS faculty & supported graduate students.
