Litigation Support
Litigation Support, New York Examined data collected during field investigations to comprehensively assess the composition and distribution of PCBs, conducted in-depth research on environmental data, and conducted a human health risk assessment. The investigation included data collection through sediment, water column, and tissue sampling to gain a holistic understanding of PCB contamination. Created maps and figures to display investigation findings.
Litigation Support, New York Conducted background research on a site investigation for PFAS contamination and compiled data. Provided maps, figures, and tables to display site investigation data for litigation. Examined blood data of possibly affected individuals and compared them to background data. Conducted a human health risk assessment of the site.
PFAS Litigation Support, United States Researched PFAS data on water systems, including their history and contamination levels, as part of PFAS litigation. Conducted a thorough analysis of the data to support legal claims and developed detailed plaintiff memoranda summarizing findings. This involved reviewing historical records, assessing contamination impact, and presenting findings in a clear, comprehensive format.
Ecological Risk Assessment
Ecological Risk Assessment, Ohio Supported an ecological risk assessment near the St. Joseph River. Researched background water quality data to characterize the extent of the contamination of chemicals in sediment and their transport into the waterbody. Compiled and organized water quality data and identified gaps.
Ecological Risk Assessment, United States Developed a pesticide profile by examining toxicological studies on chemical endpoints and utilizing the EPA TREX and AgDrift models to evaluate safety. Provided recommendations to a government agency based on this analysis, assessing potential environmental and health risks associated with pesticide use. These recommendations supported informed decision-making on the pesticide's safety for application.
Ecological Risk Assessment, New Jersey Created screening tables and detection tables for an ecological risk assessment using multiple criteria to evaluate environmental contaminants. Developed these tables to determine whether contaminant concentrations exceeded maximum contaminant levels . This analysis supported the assessment of potential risks and informed subsequent management decisions.
Human Health Risk Assessment
Human Health Risk Assessment, Ohio Supported a human health risk assessment by creating exposure point concentrations (EPCs) for different media, including soil and sediment, using the EPA Pro UCL 95 program. This involved analyzing environmental data from various sources to estimate potential exposure levels and associated health risks. The EPCs provided a comprehensive foundation for evaluating human health risks and guiding risk management decisions.
Pharmaceutical Risk and Toxicology
Occupational Health Categorization, United States Developed a comprehensive occupational health hazard assessment for chemicals, compounds, and drugs based on toxicological data, clinical information, and pharmacokinetics. This involved analyzing exposure routes, evaluating potential health effects, and reviewing safety measures. Created detailed hazard profiles and recommendations for managing each substance.
Product Stewardship
Product Stewardship, Worldwide Researched and collected information on methodologies for potential future testing of products as part of a product stewardship initiative. This involved evaluating various testing approaches and their applicability to ensure comprehensive and effective product assessment. The gathered information supported the development of robust testing protocols and informed future product evaluation strategies.
Statistical Analysis
Statistical Analysis, Rhode Island Created figures and tables using RStudio to aid in decision-making for the future remediation of a site. Developed visualizations of water quality data to provide insights into contamination levels and trends. These visuals supported strategic planning and informed remediation efforts.
