ERDC has critical expertise, facilities and capabilities to characterize the potential effects of chemicals and other materials on the environment. The Program for Advanced Materials and Substances of Emerging Environmental Concern (AMSEEC) has pillars for Analysis and Exposure Assessment that inform how, and in what form, organisms are likely to come in contact with a chemical. Researchers can then use this information to characterize how organisms interact with, and are ultimately affected by, a chemical or substance, a process also known as effects assessment.
