ardea
consulting was established in 1997 to provide science-based
consulting services specializing in ecological risk assessments, avian
and wildlife toxicology and ecotoxicology. We work with clients to provide
technical solutions to address regulatory and other ecological or environmental
toxicology issues.
Since its founding, ardea consulting
has worked principally on evaluating pesticide effects on birds and
other wildlife. The experience gained is readily transferable to other
contaminant groups. Projects have included field evaluation of potential
exposure of wildlife to pesticides, metals, or PCBs, participation in
ecological risk assessments, and preparation of research papers on various
topics. In the summer of 2001, we relocated from Morrisville, Pennsylvania
to Woodland, California. Our ecotoxicologists travel as needed; work
has been conducted throughout the U.S. and Canada.
ardea provides technical advice and
services while keeping the solutions as straightforward as possible.
We fully investigate all issues and all available information is studied
before we propose generating additional and possibly costly new data.
