Jessica L. Reiner

Jessica’s research interests are focused in the area of chemicals of emerging concern in environmental and human samples. She has worked in determining contaminant concentrations in sediment, water, food, biota, and humans, as well as establishing baseline information on potential exposure pathways. Presently, her research goals are to improve analytical measurements of chemicals of emerging concern, mainly perfluorinated compounds, through the certification of reference materials, methods development, and other quality assurance activities. She is part of the ACD staff at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, SC; a multidisciplinary research location that focuses on solving marine and human health problems. She has authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed publications and presented at many national and international conferences.
