RPI has extensive experience in interpreting toxicity data and has a thorough understanding on the environmental factors that influence exposure pathways and toxicity. This expertise is important in supporting most of our technical services, including emergency response and natural resource damage assessment, and has also allowed us to develop realistic and defensible site-specific ecological risk assessments.
Our Services:
- We design, develop, and maintain databases containing aquatic toxicity data for hazardous materials (e.g., oils, petroleum hydrocarbons, dispersants, and other chemicals) useful in informing potential environmental impacts from chemical incidents
- We develop statistical procedures and models for the evaluation of biological responses to chemical exposures helping inform evaluations related to hazardous materials and ecological risk
- We interpret toxicological test results based on analytical chemistry and our understanding of what it is considered an environmentally realistic exposure based on a particular situation or case
We have demonstrated experience in the following areas:
- Analysis of Toxicity and Chemistry Data
- Dose-Response and Probabilistic Modeling
- Food-Web and Dietary Exposure Modeling
- Derivation of Levels of Concerns and Toxic Thresholds
- Complex Statistical Analyses
- Database Development and Management
