With the technical expertise to complete all steps involved in a health risk assessment—typically hazard identification, dose-response evaluation, exposure assessment, and risk characterization—we have:
- conducted risk assessments for the Environmental Protection Agency offices;
- developed new methods for quantifying risk;
- built computer models to calculate risk efficiently and cost-effectively;
- evaluated potential human health benefits of proposed air and drinking water regulations;
- assessed risks in vulnerable populations, such as children or those of low socioeconomic status; and
- conducted methods research and application.
