Environmental Toxicology Expert in Ammonium Perchlorate Contamination

An expert in environmental toxicology was sought for an economic damages case where an aerospace company was seeking contractual relief for environmental damages caused by its research. Plaintiff sought reimbursement and recovery of millions in incurred costs, expenses, and damages and over $100 million more in estimated costs for future environmental remediation, and for the defense of toxic tort personal injury lawsuits. Claims arose from groundwater contamination of trichloroethylene and ammonium perchlorate that was required in the performance of aerospace research.

IMS ExpertServices™ was requested to locate an environmental toxicology expert with specific experience in ammonium perchlorate and its toxicological effects. The expert was sought to report on the presence of ammonium perchlorate in the groundwater and the associated human and ecological risks.
