Jacob de Boer is an analytical chemist (Ph.D. Free University in Amsterdam). He has worked for 30 years on the development of analytical methods for the determination and monitoring of PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, BFRs, and several other classes of contaminants, resulting in about 100 scientific articles. He acts as a coordinator a number of European research projects, such as DIFFERENCE and DIAC (alternative methods for dioxin analysis), sub-coordinator of the FIRE project (endocrine effects of brominated flame retardants), and advisor for a number of international organizations and industries.
