In the context of chemicals, exposure describes how people or the environment come into contact with a substance,by what route, at what concentration, and for how long, while risk assessment evaluates whether that exposure is likely to cause harm by comparing it against the chemical’s hazard properties and dose–response data.

Our team of chemists, (eco)toxicologists, exposure modellers and environmental scientists design and deliver chemical risk assessments that combine hazard identification with quantitative and qualitative exposure evaluation to characterise and manage risks throughout a product’s life cycle, helping clients meet regulatory obligations and ensure safe use of chemicals.
