Risk Assessment
Characterizing risks to human health and the environment using the best possible science supports sound risk management decisions. Also important is the ability to communicate these risks in an easy-to-understand way. ERG's team of risk assessors and toxicologists routinely accomplishes both of these objectives. From hazard identification to risk characterization, we help our clients quantify and effectively communicate risks associated with exposures to chemical, physical, biological, and radiological substances—whether individually or in mixtures—in a wide range of settings and environmental media.
