"I have known and interacted with Dr. Joseph Touhill for more than 30 years, having met through our common interest in the Environmental Division of AIChE.  It was my privilege to be a part, several years ago, of his study of the environmental aspects of the steel barrel reconditioning industry.  Subsequently, Dr. Touhill joined the Environmental Advisory Board of Environmental Progress which I edit.  For many years he has been a consistently responsive reviewer.  His reviews are thorough, and his opinion of submitted papers is one I respect immensely.  Dr. Touhill is a consummate professional with the highest technical and ethical standards."
