History
Larry Pollack graduated from Florida Tech in 1985 with an MS in environmental science where he studied the environmental fate and degradation of a specific commercial pesticide frequently applied to citrus groves in the vicinity of the nearby Indian River Lagoon in addition to other agricultural land throughout Florida. His background encompasses more than twenty years of experience in environmental sample collection protocols in addition to conducting field and laboratory chemical analyses. The latter part of his career with the Department of Defense focused on working with U.S.-based small business firms conducting research and development to design and manufacture innovative, state-of-the-art technologies to mitigate the hazards of Weapons of Mass Destruction, particularly chemical and biological threats.
