Public Health & Industrial Hygiene Team

We work together as a team of engineers and scientists who conduct workplace, community, and food and water exposure measurements, and evaluate risks to human health. We have a unique ability to integrate risk assessors with clinicians, to conduct both clinical and quantitative risk assessments. We also work together with our engineering staff to design cost-effective remediation or corrective actions. Working in multidisciplinary teams, we reconstruct historical exposures to toxic materials, measure actual exposures in air, water, wastewater, food, and environmental surfaces, and perform human health risk assessments based on these analyses. In addition, we work with manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, devices, and other health interventions to help identify and demonstrate product value in terms of health economics and outcomes.
