Assist. Prof. Guney received his Ph.D. degree (mineral engineering) from Polytechnique Montréal. He has a B.Sc. in civil engineering and an M.Sc. in environmental technology. His specialization is in environmental contamination characterization and human health risk assessment (soils, mine wastes, consumer goods). Overall, Dr. Guney has been an active researcher in the environmental domain since 2005. His experience includes evaluating contamination in urban soils and mine residues with metals and PAHs, contaminant geochemistry, bioaccessibility assessment, the evaluation of human exposure, and the characterization of human health risks. He also has expertise on contaminants and their bioaccessibility in consumer goods (toys and children's jewelry) and associated risks.
