Dr. Mehrdad Javaherian is a San Francisco Bay Area sustainability and environmental remediation consultant who has developed the proprietary Vapor Energy Generator (VEG) for addressing ground contamination. Dr. Mehrdad Javaherian has a strong knowledge of toxicity issues affecting sites and pathways toward bringing them toward environmental health.
As reported in the Examiner, the San Francisco Police Department recently requested retesting of a Hunters Point Shipyard crime laboratory for toxic and radioactive contamination. Building 606 is situated within Parcel E, an inaccessible-to-the-public part of the shipyard that also houses landfill that was used for many years to dispose of a variety of toxic materials. These include ship parts that had been exposed to testing by nuclear weapons.
The building has been leased to the SFPD for 22 years by the Navy, which concluded that the site posed no threat to human health. Areas to be tested include residual soil from an old sewer, air and dust within the building, and accumulated rainwater within a crawl space. A major issue at hand is that the civil engineering contractor which was hired to undertake shipyard cleaning from 2002 to 2016 may have manipulated and compromised some 97 percent of its activities.
