Services
Accredited laboratory analyses of water, wastewater, soil, sediments, air and waste matrices for metals, anions and organic contaminants using chromatographic and spectrometric techniques and standardized EPA/SM/NIOSH methods.
On-site sampling services including stack/isokinetic emissions sampling, ambient air monitoring, groundwater and surface water sampling, soil/residue sampling and surface (wipe) sampling with chain-of-custody, sample preservation and calibrated equipment; integrated field-to-lab workflows following established methodologies.
Bioanalytical testing of blood, urine, hair and stool for metals (including mercury), solvent metabolites, drugs of abuse and clinical biomarkers; support for blinded biomonitoring studies and use of certified reference materials.
Technical consultancy, preparation of environmental impact statements, risk assessments, remediation criteria and project reports integrating sampling, analysis and modelling for infrastructure and industrial projects.
Laboratory research to develop and validate analytical procedures for trace contaminants and speciation methods, including establishment of detection and reporting limits and publication of scientific studies.
