National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology
Dr. Wataru Naito is currently a team leader of Integrated Research Center for Nature Positive Technology at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan. Currently, his research activities include developing methods for obtaining missing data for environmental risk assessment/management and promoting pragmatic risk assessment for contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) such as microplastics. He has served on a variety of expert advisory committees related environmental risk-related issues for central and local governments and been a member the Working Party on Exposure Assessment (WPEA) in OECD since the noughties. Dr. Naito received a BS in Environmental Science from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), a MA and PhD in Materials Science and Chemical Engineering from Yokohama National University.
