Nathan Sell, ACI’s new director, regulatory science

The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) announced the appointment of Nathan Sell as director, regulatory science.

In this newly created position, Sell will be responsible for development and management of research strategies related to the safety of cleaning product ingredients, serve as a point of contact for ACI’s chemical management and regulatory programs, and help expand scientific understanding of ACI chemistry tools and technologies.

Sell was previously a chemical review manager in the Office of Pesticide Programs at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a technical writer and editor for the Office of Science Coordination and Policy, and an ORISE research participant in the Office of Water.

“Nathan comes on board with extensive knowledge in risk-based decision making and technical writing, having worked at the EPA in the Offices of Pesticide Programs and Science Coordination and Policy,” said Dr. James Kim, ACI vice president, science and regulatory affairs, in a statement. “His experience leading a team of scientists, economists, and technical staff for pesticide reviews will translate well to working with ACI Task Forces and Work Groups.”
