1 Principal Scientist Professional Profile Dr. Nathan J. Karch is a board-certified toxicologist and a Principal Scientist in Exponent s Health Sciences Center for Toxicology and Mechanistic Biology. Dr. Karch has more than 30 years of experience in evaluating scientific and technical questions relating to complex environmental and public health problems. The context has principally involved multidisciplinary, evidence-based questions of medical causation in litigation, with claims of personal injury, toxic tort or product liability. This work has focused on evaluations of the extent and effects of human exposures arising from manufacture, storage, distribution, or use of products containing chemicals or from environmental or accidental releases. Other evaluations have covered many aspects of product stewardship, such as exposure and risk assessment of multimedia pollution, hazardous waste site evaluations, risk ranking, comments on proposed regulatory policy, product development and registration, hazard communication compliance, and materials handling. As a consultant, Dr. Karch has worked primarily for industrial clients, but also for government and public interest organizations. For more than 17 years, Dr. Karch was president of Karch & Associates, Inc., a firm specializing in toxicology, epidemiology, and risk assessment. Dr. Karch directed the health and environmental staff of the Council on Environmental Quality in the Executive Office of the President of the United States, served on the staff of the National Research Council the staff arm of the National Academies of Sciences and of Engineering, and served on the staff of the American Chemical Society that worked with Board and Council committees to provide advice on chemical matters under a charter from Congress. Dr. Karch was involved early in establishing risk assessment methods used by regulatory agencies for estimating cancer risks and in evaluating reproductive and neurological hazards. After receiving his Ph.D. from Yale University, Dr. Karch took additional classes in toxicology, epidemiology, and biostatistics at the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences, the non-accredited graduate school of the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, MD.

Dissertation, Yale University, Project Experience Provided scientific support litigation as a confidential consultant to attorneys in cases involving exposures to dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), PCBs, pentachlorophenol, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, asbestos, hexavalent chromium, lead, cadmium, benzene, toluene, xylene, various pesticide chemicals (such as DDT and atrazine), silicones, and a range of complex chemical mixtures. This work generally included most or all of the following: evaluations of the scientific and medical information available to determine whether to defend or settle cases, identifying scientific and medical issues in litigation; identifying and preparing expert and fact witnesses; analyzing opposing experts for deposition and trial; assisting in the preparation of demonstrative evidence; assisting in preparation of motions for summary judgment, Daubert and related challenges, and various other motions in limine; assisting in preparation of appeal briefs; risk communication information for investors and various regulatory bodies; and assisting in public communications about the litigation. Directed litigation support projects in more than 400 cases involving multiple plaintiffs or substantial assets at risk, including toxic tort, personal injury, and product liability lawsuits, many of which involved class action. Analyses included evaluating exposure and dose, including assessing chemical manufacturing processes, fate and transport of chemicals, and modeling in air, water, and soil; assessing applicable regulatory standards and state-of-the-art issues; assessing toxicity and mechanism of action based on human, animal, and cellular studies; reviewing alternative causes of medical conditions, criteria for sound application of causation criteria, and principles of toxicology and epidemiology. Served as expert witness in a few cases. Assisted private clients in matters involving citations for violations under various federal statutes, including the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and in matters involving state regulations of toxic substances, including one matter where a state standard was set before remediation of ground water could be completed. Directed a complex rail project that involved developing a unique model for ranking the potential for acute lethality and long-term adverse health effects of chemicals in more than 750 hazardous materials carried by rail nationwide. The project focused on inhalation hazards to surrounding communities following large spills of volatile chemicals in hazardous materials. Also, the project involved presentations of the approach and relevant conclusions to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Page 4
5 Congress to promote consistency of approach to defining hazardous materials and in labeling them. Directed as staff the work of a panel on scientific and engineering data of the Committee on Environmental Decision Making, National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC), which evaluated all of the U.S. EPA s research and regulatory programs, the sources of information on which the programs relied, and the scientific criteria used. For another committee, provided staff support to a committee reviewing the carcinogenicity of Heptachlor and Chlordane, during which pathologists reviewed slides from animal bioassays through a four-headed scope to reach consensus. Executive Director of a 22-agency task force on toxic substances, which consisted of regulatory and research agencies of the federal government. Prepared a draft report to the President on research and regulation of toxic substances and served on an interagency committee that determined which substances would be tested by government and the priority for the tests.
