Toxicity Identification/Reduction Evaluation Services

The objective of the Toxicity Identification/Reduction Evaluation (TIE/RE) is to identify the general chemical group of causative toxicants.  This is accomplished by chemically or physically manipulating the sample to neutralize, alter, or remove specific groups of chemicals. Bioassay tests are then conducted on the manipulated sub-samples to assess which treatments have removed toxicity. In some cases, identification of the toxicant`s chemical group alone provides enough information for the elimination or effective control of toxicity to an acceptable level.
