Services
Environmental analytical testing (water, soil, air, effluents)
Sampling and laboratory analysis of multiple environmental matrices to quantify chemical and microbiological parameters for compliance and characterization.
Occupational toxicology and biological monitoring
Quantitative biomonitoring to support occupational medicine, including selection of biomarkers, appropriate matrices and analytic methods for worker exposure assessment.
Occupational hygiene assessment and monitoring
Evaluation and control of physical, chemical and biological hazards in workplaces using national and international reference values and measurement methods.
Indoor air quality testing
Measurement of indoor air parameters including fungal counts, CO2, aerodispersoids and physical environmental variables with periodic sampling strategies.
Emissions and stack monitoring
Sampling and analysis of stack emissions and combustion gases, including particulate and gas phase analytes, using high-volume and isokinetic sampling methods.
Environmental microbiology and pathogen testing
Laboratory detection and identification of microbiological contaminants in water and related matrices, including coliforms, Legionella and other indicator organisms.
