Consulting and laboratory and field assessment services according to the Tiers of Environmental Risk Assessment schemes. At a prospective level, CloverStrategy is capable of performing several types of analysis taking into consideration different levels of exposure and sensitivity in order to characterise the toxicity of substances, including assessments focused on the registration of pesticides (i.e. Plant Protection Products and Biocides) aiming its implementation in the market. At the retrospective level, the company provides services based on the use of biological tools for toxicity evaluation, which are crucial to support the definition of recovery actions of degraded areas resulting from industrial activity (e.g. mining exploitation).
Assessment services are provided to estimate the nature and probability of adverse health effects in humans who may be exposed to disturbed environments or processes related to industrial production. The assessment processes will include the hazard identification, definition of the relationship between exposure and effects, exposure assessment (frequency, timing, and levels of contact with the stressor), and risk characterisation (nature and extent of the risk from exposure to environmental stressors).
Environmental monitoring services aiming to control water, open and confined atmosphere and soil quality through systematic sample collections followed by its characterisation through chemical, biological and microbiological tests and assays; data processing, treatment, interpretation and assessment; modelling of environmental phenomena.
Biological Monitoring
Monitoring services based on the use of tools for community characterization over time to identify changes and/or fluctuations in structure and composition of communities. This type of services allow to timely identify effects of agricultural practices, intensive industrial activity, climate changes and other impacts at the level of biological communities, contributing to the definition of optimization strategies that may allow to combine industrial production with long term sustainability of ecosystems.
Consulting services and identification of future consequences of certain activities in the environment (e.g. implementation of wind farms, dams, industrial activities potentially harmful to the environment). Definition of actions to mitigate the environmental impact and prospection of the recovery potential of the impacted ecosystems. This type of assessment will have as priority the preservation of species included in the IUCN Red List. The environmental impact report provided is structured according to the European standards. CloverStrategy can also propose and execute adequate Monitoring Plans for EIA projects.
