Over the past five years, there has been a sea change in the expectations of society regarding the need to understand the life cycle of all commercial products. To fully understand the possible hazards posed by a product from "cradle to grave", it is necessary to understand the human and ecological hazards of the various chemical components.

Our staff has hundreds of years of professional experience at evaluating the possible hazards posed by chemicals in virtually every media and consumer product. We are ideally poised to anticipate what regulatory agencies, NGO, lawyers and members of the public would expect of producers and sellers of the whole range of food and consumer products. Our experience in serving as experts to government agencies, as well as in state and federal courts, and on international science advisory panels gives us considerable insight regarding the known or anticipated hazards posed by the myriad of chemicals.
