Dr. Bacci was supported by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through an interagency agreement with the Department of Energy (DOE) to participate in a workshop on food chain impacts of municipal waste combustion. The focus of the workshop was on atmospheric deposition modeling, food chain impacts, and uncertainty analysis. Dr. Bacci is a world-recognized expert on foliar uptake of organics by vegetation. He presented measured values for the air-to-vegetation bioconcentration factor for ten organic compounds. His research demonstrated that foliar bioconcentration is a function of both octanol-water partition coefficient and Henry's Law Constant.
