About the Editor
Frank A. Swartjes PhD (1960) has been working in the field of risk-based contaminated site management since 1986. In this year, he graduated in Soil Science and Hydrology from Wageningen University, The Netherlands, and, in 1990, received his PhD on The Fate and Transport of Contaminants in Soil and Groundwater (cum laude) from the Technical University of the former West-Berlin, Germany. Subsequently, he spent two interesting years with the consultancy firm of Fugro-McClelland Engineers in The Netherlands, where he worked on contaminated site investigations and remediations. In 1991, he joined the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), Bilthoven, The Netherlands, where he is still employed today. At RIVM he has contributed to the foundation of the Dutch Soil Protection Act (related to Human Health, Ecological and Groundwater-related Risk Assessment), both as a project manager and as a scientist. Moreover, he has been involved in the harmonisation of Risk Assessment tools for soil contamination in the European Union and in knowledge transfer to countries that are in the early stages of risk-based contaminated site management. His general interest is in implementing in-depth scientific knowledge for practical procedures and cost-effective solutions. He is a frequently invited speaker at conferences.
