Risk Assessment: Is the Process Effective or Broken?
Questions regarding assessing and managing health risks in the U.S. are being discussed in panel presentations hosted by the non-profit Association for Environmental Health and Sciences (AEHS) Foundation and moderated by top Integral toxicologists and scientists. In discussions that took place last year, and continued at the spring AEHS Foundation conference in San Diego, nationally renowned regulators, industry practitioners, and risk managers are addressing an array of questions regarding the status of risk assessment and risk management as it is currently practiced in the U.S. These questions, and suggestions for improvements, are described in a white paper “Assessing and Managing Human Health Risks in the U.S.–Striking a Balance between Costs, Benefits, Efficacy, and Unintended Consequences.”

Brownfields: Beneficial Reuse of Fill Material Saves Money While Greening Cities
Reuse of fill material in Brownfields site remediation has saved clients millions of dollars while reaping sustainable benefits. Reduced roadway and infrastructure wear, fossil fuel savings, less noise and particulate emissions, and a dramatic reduction in the carbon footprint of each project are just a few of the many benefits derived from beneficial reuse. Waste that would otherwise need to be trucked to landfills is repurposed for a second life in a related or unrelated industry. Beneficial reuse is a win-win for the client not only for cost savings but also for reducing the client’s overall impact on the environment, while demonstrating responsible environmental stewardship within the community. Both private industry and local municipalities have found that Integral services in beneficial reuse have been a key factor in their successful project completion.
