What is a Toxicology Consultant?
The types of services Toxicology Consultants can provide are diverse and vary from individual to individual. For industrial clients, a toxicology consultant might provide written reports on the known or potential adverse health and/or environmental effects of chemicals which the company uses, manufactures or disposes of. A Toxicology Consultant might assist the client by developing a toxicity testing strategy for a new product that complies with Federal, state and local, or international regulatory requirements. The Toxicology Consultant might monitor animal safety studies in progress to ensure that they are being conducted properly, or prepare protocols and work with laboratories to get the necessary studies done. Toxicology Consultants can interpret and summarize the results of toxicology studies individually and as a group for litigation, the preparation of regulatory submissions or informational materials for use in educating juries, workers, customers or the general public. Many Toxicology Consultants serve as Expert Witnesses in litigation involving alleged adverse effects of chemicals on human health or the environment. The toxicologist can also advise attorneys regarding the development of factual evidence and the strengths or weaknesses of the opponents' case and determine cause and effect relationships.
