Besides contaminants in air, water and soil, we analyze toxic chemicals in consumer products, including food and drugs.
Approach to Serving Clients
Depending on technical complexity, Dr. Roth-Nelson works independently or may team up with other specialists to round out the exact skills needed for strong client representation.
We may suggest teaming with a public health epidemiologist, a medical toxicologist, a teratologist, a geneticist, an analytical chemist, a chemical or environmental engineer, a health physicist, an industrial hygienist, a hydrogeologist, and others.
We are available as nontestifying consultants or expert witnesses on behalf of industrial firms, regulatory agencies, and legal counsel representing defendants or plaintiffs.
