| Development institutions, government and private sector
clients increasingly understand the importance of appropriately assessing
potential and actual environmental, occupational health and safety
impacts of industrially-distressed populations living near such facilities.
Our team is especially skilled in working in extremely challenging
public health situations in foreign countries, often with extreme
personal safety and occupational health concerns, but also with the
knowledge and professionalism to act in a culturally appropriate manner.
We believe that there will be an increasing need to assess the actual
and potential health and safety impact of surrounding communities,
to communicate this information to clients and to help plan and implement
mitigative measures that help such populations. |

chemicals spread by the water and subsequently, into homes and
