Environmental Risk Assessment for Pharmaceuticals & Veterinary Products

How does Exponent help clients assess the environmental impact of their pharmaceutical and veterinary products?

For decades, Exponent has helped clients with complex issues involving nanotechnology, endocrine disruptors, biologicals, genetically modified organisms, and traditional human and veterinary pharmaceuticals.

Our environmental toxicologists and regulatory specialists are involved in the global dialogue surrounding the detection of trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals in surface water, wastewater, and drinking water and the related issues of potential treatment, risk, and regulation. Our assessments range from simple justifications for categorical exclusion to complex multi-parameter, multi-receptor watershed-scale risk assessments.
