Evaluating need and appropriateness of medical monitoring in populations alleging future risks to health.
Reconstructing historical exposures based on available environmental data, published population data, or reported product contact information.
Preparing toxicological profiles easily understood by counsel, the lay public, and expert witnesses on chemicals or products of concern.
Applying risk assessment as a tool to predict the likelihood of future health effects based on factual evidence of exposure to chemicals and products of concern.
