Doering monitors the atmospheric deposition of hazardous pollutants, including mercury-containing compounds, that have led to fish consumption advisories for Maine’s inland waters. Her work also involves implementing new federal standards on hazardous air pollutants.<\/p>\n

Prior to joining the Maine DEP in 1992, Doering worked on hazardous-waste disposal problems with the Environmental Protection Agency in New York. She earned a bachelor’s degree in meteorology from Rutgers University in 1981 and a master’s degree in plant and soil science from the University of Maine in 1986.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
