Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment

Designing risk assessments using the latest scientific and regulatory developments for the chemicals of concern

INTERA specializes in the quantitative assessment of risks to health and the environment posed by chemical, physical, and microbiological agents. Our services focus on developing risk assessments to define cleanup activities, waste disposal practices, or management strategies needed to protect human health and the environment. They are also used to communicate current and future human health and ecological risks, and describe how cleanup activities will reduce these risks.

Our staff of environmental scientists and risk assessment specialists bring experience that ranges from the simplest scenarios in which comparisons of site data are made with standard, published criteria to more complex studies where actual floral and faunal communities are sampled and the results are compared with ecologically identical reference sites. Members of our staff are nationally recognized experts in the areas of uncertainty and probabilistic analyses of environmental and health risks. Examples of our risk assessment capabilities are listed below.

  • data acquisition and processing
  • statistical modeling and exposure point concentration (EPC) calculation
  • exposure assessment
  • toxicity assessment
  • risk characterization
  • uncertainty analysis
  • calculation of risk-based cleanup goals

I wish I had more sites with INTERA. You are the most responsive of any of the consultants I work with and put together the most accurate and comprehensive reports. Thanks again.”

Mike Boulay – Petroleum Storage Tank Bureau

I just want to acknowledge INTERA’s excellent work pulling off the drilling and well installation in downtown Santa Fe in such a short timeframe. It was an incredible feat of coordination and persistence. Kate, and everyone at INTERA, did an amazing job and we are grateful for all of your efforts.”

Ali Furmall – Ground Water Quality Bureau

As a lawyer in a law firm with a concentration in environmental law, I am often asked for advice on the selection of an environmental consultant. I always recommend INTERA as my first choice.”
