Health Sciences

Cardno specializes in characterizing human and environmental risks associated with exposures to chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and/or radionuclides in a variety of media and environments. We have a large team of toxicologists, many of whom are board-certified, who have extensive experience providing clients with critical information about their products and operations, thereby enabling them to make informed decisions about mitigating and reducing risk. 

We offer statistical and modelling services with a focus on human health risk assessment. Cardno professionals analyze and interpret data collected from these services to predict the potential adverse health effects at certain levels of exposure to chemical or physical hazards. Our capabilities enable us to answer a host of critical questions about the variables within each unique occupational and environmental setting.

Contaminated sites can be caused by chemicals and/or radionuclides in a variety of environmental media. Cardno scientists have pioneered and helped popularize many of the approaches used in the risk assessment field both in the US and abroad, and have conducted over 500 risk assessments for sites regulated by state, regional, and federal environmental agencies. We are confident that we can successfully assist with the multi-layered issues that arise when humans are exposed to chemical agents and/or radionuclides.

Employers have the challenge and responsibility of creating workplace environments that are free from health and safety risks. Cardno’s team of certified industrial hygienists and industrial hygiene technicians can help our clients minimize EH&S risks, prevent costly incidents that can damage a company’s reputation, encourage a proactive and engaged workforce, and achieve a world-class EH&S program. 

Cardno scientists specialize in using risk assessment methodologies to evaluate potential adverse outcomes and to characterize health risks from various complex goods (e.g., foods, consumer products, and medical devices) that have a daily impact on everyone’s lives. In addition to providing creative solutions for evaluating and managing product safety, our team also has extensive experience conducting Proposition 65 exposure assessments, product line assessments, and evaluating and developing No Significant Risk Levels (NSRLs) and Maximum Allowable Dose Levels (MADLs).
