Out of all her projects, Yamini is most excited about developing scientific support for the copper occupational exposure limit, which she cites as her most challenging and impactful project to date. In 2021, Yamini was certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology, which required her to demonstrate competence in the entire field of toxicology. Holding a PhD in Environmental Sciences with a specialization in Toxicology, Yamini brings her expertise to her work on the Material Stewardship (MS) team and was proud to be able to expand her knowledge as the lead in ICA’s occupational exposure limit (OEL) project.
