How can Exponent help you navigate complex chemical regulatory compliance challenges?

Chemical regulations — and underlying concerns about chemical safety — are changing the world. As public scrutiny intensifies and related regulations multiply on a global scale — from CERCLA and TSCA to REACH and Prop 65 — companies that demonstrate commitment to consumer, occupational, and environmental safety through rigorous chemical analysis and documentation may be able to capture competitive advantage in addition to meeting their regulatory obligations.

Our multidisciplinary team of chemical regulatory experts provide wide-ranging support for chemical compliance across industries — including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverage, electronics, and more — and applications from pesticides to household cleaners, soaps, antimicrobials, plastics, rubbers, adhesives, coatings, industrial chemicals, and chemicals of emerging concern (CECs).

Exponent's chemists, toxicologists, ecotoxicologists, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, polymer scientists, ecologists, materials chemists, and risk assessors provide our clients with unparalleled technical support, timely global responsiveness, and rigorous evidence-based insights. We help chemical manufacturers and other industry stakeholders navigate product safety challenges and complex global regulatory frameworks for chemicals such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, benzene, dioxins, PCBs, microplastics, vinyl chloride, formaldehyde, asbestos, acetaldehyde, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
