Dr. Carlo Monti specializes in the evaluation of transport, fate, and effects of contaminants in aquatic habitats, soil, sediment, and groundwater. He has managed and been the principal investigator of field, laboratory, and theoretical assessments of a wide variety of contaminants in lakes, rivers, estuarine waters, ocean waters, and groundwater. Dr. Monti has also directed ecological risk assessments, cost allocation studies, and Environmental Liability assessments for sites involving soils, sediments, and waters contaminated with dioxin, PCBs, DDT, mercury, petroleum hydrocarbons, solvents, and other contaminants. He has conducted fate and transport modeling at the basin level in a variety of river systems. Dr. Monti is an expert in environmental forensics. He has also conducted environmental due diligence assessments at a variety of industrial facilities in Europe, Asia, and Central and South America.
