Risk-based decisions weigh scientific, regulatory and societal factors, as well as costs. The decision-making process can be quite complex and for this reason we understand that quality assessments rely on many disciplines. The identification of appropriate options calls on a team of professionals who have diverse technical skills and a wealth of experience in dealing with these issues. Because ChemRisk® scientists have pioneered and helped popularize many of the approaches used in risk assessment in the US and overseas, we are confident that few other firms can equal our experience at successfully dealing with complex questions involving chemicals in virtually any media.
We explore our clients’ problems in both regulatory and legal contexts before offering suggestions about how to apply risk assessment methods to address them.
