Historical Exposures From Chemical Emissions
In a toxic tort case; Gradient calculated risks and exposure from oil well emissions and a central heating and cooling plant to former public school students and nearby residents claiming adverse health effects. We reconstructed past exposures based on historical chemical concentrations in air together with human activity patterns and calculated individual-specific risks for benzene; dioxin-like compounds; and hexavalent chromium. Gradient's findings were used by the client in the context of summary judgment motions in state cou
