Chemical Insights Research Institute is on the front line of protecting human health

Chemical Insights Research Institute (CIRI) of UL Research Institutes is on the front line of research on emerging environmental health threats facing people and the planet today. Our work lets people around the world know what chemicals are in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the products we interact with every day. Our leadership role is to provide objective research and resulting knowledge for improved practices, innovative product design, and changes that enable safer products and healthier environments.  

Our core mission at Chemical Insights Research Institute is to help improve the health of people and the planet. More than 90% of children across the globe are exposed to a toxic mixture of chemicals in the air daily. At Chemical Insights Research Institute, we are working to change that by combining the best minds with rigorous scientific research and a commitment to thorough and accurate results. We then deliver these impactful scientific insights in actionable ways so educators, manufacturers, healthcare providers, and consumers can make informed environmental health decisions and extend lives.
