Prior to joining AirSource in 1990, George enjoyed a seventeen-year association with the Midwest Research Institute, where he was a key participant in dozens of other trial burn programs at various hazardous waste incineration facilities. George also was instrumental in a study to determine safe disposal of pesticides and herbicides by incineration and has investigated the destruction efficiency of microorganisms by incineration techniques.

He was directly involved in the development and evaluation of various sampling trains and methods, and was actively involved in the development of the volatile organic sampling train (VOST) under contract to the EPA.

George has extensive experience with most EPA test methods and has special expertise in determination and speciation of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds including dioxin/furan compounds, as well as particle size distribution studies.

George received a B.S. in Chemistry with a minor in Biology in 1973 and an M.B.A. in 1980.
