Born 21 June 1943. His education was in organic chemistry from Copenhagen University in 1969. He has previously worked in the Danish EPA, the Danish NIOSH, the Danish Technological Institute, and dk-TEKNIK Energy & Environment. He has (in 2007) more then 35 years of professional experience from working with environmental chemistry and toxicology, with focus on persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals. He was funding chairman of the Danish Society for Environmental Chemistry from 1984-87 and chairman of FECS/EuCheMS Division on Chemistry and the Environment from 1996-2003. He was organizer of the 6th FECS Conference on Chemistry and the Environment (about air pollution) in Copenhagen in 1998. He has been involved in most of the Danish surveys on dioxin (responsible for the first two) and in dioxin surveys for the Baltic States and the Baltic Sea. He was in 2001-2002 responsible for a dioxin survey in OSPAR countries using the UNEP Dioxin Tool Kit and an update in 2006. In 2003-2004 he was Co-chair for EU Environment and Health TWG on “Integrated Monitoring of Dioxins and PCBs”.
He has worked with life cycle concepts and tools (LCA/LCM) since 1989. In 1991 he was founding member of SETAC-Europe LCA Steering Committee and its chairman from 1995-1997. He was involved in SETAC Working Groups on “Impact assessment” (convenor and secretary), about ”Life Cycle Management (LCM)” (convenor and secretary) and ”Working Environment in LCA” (convenor and chair). He chaired the organization committees for the 6th SETAC-Europe Congress in Copenhagen 23-26 June 1995 and LCM2001 in Copenhagen 26-29 August 2001. He chaired the development of the web-based “LCA Guide” for the European Environment Agency. He has been member of the Board of ”Society for Promotion of LCA Development (SPOLD)”, of "European Network for Strategic Life-Cycle assessment Research and Development (LCANET)”, and of ”CEC Groupe des Sages on Ecolabelling and LCA”. He was member of ISO/TC207/SC5/WG4, who developed the ISO 14042 Life Cycle Impact Assessment standard and co-editor of the Danish version. He has been member of the Editor Committee for ”International Journal of LCA” from its start. He was chairman of the UNEP-SETAC Task Force on development of a LCM Business Guide and chairs the LCM20XX Conference Planning Committee.
He has more than 300 publications.
