Industrial Fire Expert Witness & Environmental Consulting
RoseyFields provides expert witness and environmental consulting services involving industrial fires, chemical plant explosions, petroleum refinery incidents, railroad derailments, warehouse fires, landfill fires, lithium battery fires, and other large combustion events. Our investigations reconstruct the origin, progression, and environmental consequences of fires by integrating environmental forensics, combustion chemistry, engineering analyses, and historical reconstruction.

Air Dispersion Modeling & Atmospheric Transport
Large industrial fires release complex mixtures of gases, particulate matter, metals, volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, dioxins, furans, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). RoseyFields performs EPA-approved air dispersion modeling to reconstruct smoke plume movement, estimate airborne concentrations, evaluate atmospheric deposition, and assess potential community exposure. Our analyses integrate emissions estimation, meteorology, combustion science, and atmospheric transport to provide scientifically defensible evaluations.

Exposure Assessment & Human Health Risk Assessment
Industrial fires may result in contamination of soil, surface water, groundwater, dust, vegetation, and indoor environments. RoseyFields integrates environmental sampling, contaminant fate and transport, exposure assessment, toxicology, and risk assessment to evaluate potential human exposure and environmental impacts. Our investigations support litigation, insurance claims, regulatory proceedings, and remediation planning.

Combustion Chemistry & Environmental Contaminants
Industrial fires generate complex mixtures of contaminants that vary depending on the materials involved and combustion conditions. RoseyFields evaluates chemicals commonly associated with industrial fires, including dioxins and furans, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀), metals, asbestos, and PFAS when fluorinated materials are involved. Our multidisciplinary investigations combine combustion chemistry, environmental chemistry, air modeling, environmental forensics, and toxicology to characterize releases and evaluate potential environmental and human health impacts.
