Little things making a big difference to air, soil and water quality are Dr Jonathan Caldwell’s realm of expertise.
An environmental chemist by training, Dr Caldwell is an integral and senior member of the Waikato Regional Council (WRC) Science Directorate, manager of the council’s regional air quality monitoring programme and technical adviser for its contaminated land and diffuse contamination programmes. He is the go-to authority on complex air quality issues and emerging contaminants – recent entrants to our waste streams and environments resulting from household and personal care products, pharmaceuticals, veterinary medicines, agrichemicals/pesticides, fire retardants and other industrial products. Dr Caldwell has provided critical input to numerous contracts, regional and national policy/guidelines, public communication/education programmes and stakeholder and special interest groups focused on improving monitoring, management and understanding of contaminants for better human and environmental health.
