Marc Edwards (born 1964) is a civil engineering/environmental engineer and the Charles P. Lunsford Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech. An expert on water treatment and corrosion, Edwards's research on elevated lead levels in Washington, DC's municipal water supply gained national attention, changed the city's recommendations on water use in homes with lead service pipes, and caused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to admit to publishing a report so rife with errors that a congressional investigation called it "scientifically indefensible". He is considered one of the world's leading experts in water corrosion in home plumbing,〔 and a nationally recognized expert on copper corrosion. Edwards was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2007. The program cited him for "playing a vital role in ensuring the safety of drinking water and in exposing deteriorating water-delivery infrastructure in America’s largest cities".〔 In 2004, ''Time'' magazine featured him as one of the United States' most innovative scientists. ==Biography== Edwards, a native of the Buffalo, New York area, received a Bachelor of Science degree in biophysics from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1986.〔〔 He received his Master of Science in 1988 and his Ph.D. in engineering in 1991 from the University of Washington.〔〔 Edwards taught at the University of Colorado at Boulder.〔 In 1997, he joined the faculty of Virginia Tech's department of civil and environmental engineering.〔 From 2001 to 2005, he served as president of the board of directors for the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors. He delivered Virginia Tech's Graduate School Commencement address on December 19, 2008. He lives with his wife and two children in Blacksburg, Virginia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marc Edwards (civil engineering professor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
