At Chester Engineers, he provides assistance in the development of technical proposals, sampling protocols and analysis to ensure compliance with and attention to client requirements. Dr. Khosah also has extensive experience in environmental regulations including: CAA, RCRA, TSCA SARA CERCLA and NESHAPS. He has also provided consulting support to clients in waste management. He is a program manager for multi-year research and ambient air monitoring projects under contract to the Department of Energy and the EPA. Professional Experience Program Manager for the DOE-funded Upper Ohio River Valley Ambient Fine Particulate (PM2.5) Sampling and Analysis Project. Program Manager for EPA-funded Project to Conduct Systems and Performance Audits of Acid Rain Collection Stations. Participated in an EPA Focus Team to evaluate CAA compliance resources for the flexographic printing and metal can manufacturing industries. Developed analytical methodologies to identify and quantify PCB congeners as part of a bio-remediation effort of a PCB contaminated lagoon. Developed technologies for detecting and identifying inclusions in Al-Li alloys for aircraft applications. Evaluated the effectiveness of pollution control devices on aluminum can delacquering units and the effectiveness of oil emission scrubbers on aluminum rolling mills. Designed a supercritical fluid extraction instrument for environmental sample preparation that is now commercially available. Formulated and developed water-based protective coatings and lacquers for the print label industry. Products developed have low VOC content resulting in higher productivity for the end user.
