Integrated environmental toxicology solutions for sustainable practices and risk assessment
Environmental toxicity studies play a critical role in understanding the potential risks and hazards associated with various compounds. They also facilitate protection and preservation of ecosystems, promote sustainable practices, and safeguard human and environmental health. Ecotoxicology is covered under legislation including OECD, OCSPP/OPPTS, EPA, ECHA, CIB-RC (India) and ISO guidelines.
At Aragen, we provide a comprehensive range of environmental toxicology and ecotoxicology studies to determine threshold toxicity concentrations of a range of test compounds during early discovery and regulatory development stage. Our teams of qualified and experienced environmental toxicologists provide an integrated approach to ecotoxicity and environmental risk assessments, delivering high quality and reliable results to meet the needs of the global industry and environmental regulators. With comprehensive capabilities to facilitate advanced ecotoxicology and analytical chemistry techniques, we use a wide variety of test species and have an excellent track record of successful regulatory submissions. Our team contributes in designing customized study protocols to meet our client's requirements.
