Toxicity of Chemicals Used in Certain Commercial Products

Gradient evaluated the toxicity and potential human health risk associated with exposure to a class of chemicals used in commercial products. Gradient critiqued epidemiological and animal toxicity literature. We analyzed the chemical exposure associated with adverse effects in animals and compared these levels to potential exposures from the chemicals of interest in drinking water in a proposed class of community members. Gradient's evaluation was used to assess the appropriateness of a class certification claim.
