The marriage of industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, and toxicology dates back more than 100 years, and our firm has been active in this area for the past 25. A few of the studies that we have recently undertaken include an assessment of exposure to benzene in solvents in manufacturing settings, exposure to mercury by residents and maintenance workers, exposure to iron ore by railroad workers, exposure to airborne asbestos by brake workers, and exposure to diacetyl in the microwave popcorn manufacturing and the flavorings industries.

Our physicians and toxicologists have significant experience reviewing medical records, establishing medical monitoring programs, and both setting up and critiquing biological monitoring programs. In our experience, the majority of such programs fail to live up to their potential because the scientific factors that can compromise data interpretation and/or exposure scenario characterization are inadequately considered.
