The services a Toxicology Consultant provides are diverse and vary from one individual consultant to another based on the Toxicology Consultant's expertise and experience. For industrial clients, a Toxicology Consultant might provide written reports on the adverse health/environmental effects of chemicals or may assist the client by developing a toxicity testing strategy for a new product that complies with regional or international regulatory requirements. The Toxicology Consultant might prepare protocols for non-clinical drug safety studies and work with laboratories to ensure that they are being conducted properly. For the regulatory submission of new food ingredients, the consultant can assist in providing a GRAS evaluation and food contact notifications, or develop and implement a testing program for a new food additive or dietary supplement. The Toxicology Consultant can interpret the results of toxicology studies to prepare informational materials for use in educating juries, workers, customers or the general public. Many Toxicology Consultants serve as expert witnesses or advise attorneys regarding the development of factual evidence as well as the scientific strengths of the case.
