Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (TERA)
is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the best use of toxicity
data for risk assessment. TERA was founded in 1995 by Dr. Michael Dourson, a board-certified
toxicologist with 15 years experience working for the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). TERA helps
environmental, industry, and government groups find common ground
through the application of good science to risk assessment. In
fostering successful partnerships, improvements in the science
and practice of risk assessment will follow.
With many years of risk assessment experience at U.S. EPA and in industry,
our staff is highly

government agencies and industry,
