He then moved over to the university’s Graduate School of Oceanography where he conducted a study of the atmospheric deposition of environmental contaminants, including PCBs, PAHs, and pesticides to Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island.
  
  Adam then shifted to private industry where he worked as a laboratory chemist analyzing organic and inorganic chemicals in a variety of environmental matrices. This experience equipped him for an environmental consulting opportunity where he joined as a quality assurance chemist. As an environmental scientist, Adam validated environmental analytical data packages, developed and implemented field chemistry methods, and managed the daily responsibilities and workload of two chemists.
