Environmental Testing Solutions For Air, Water & Soil
Environmental protection is everyone’s business.
The rapid growth in public awareness, understanding and concern for environmental protection means authorities are constantly tightening regulations. Monitoring emissions to water, land and air are key issues throughout all industries.
From sampling to results!
Years ago, analysis was carried out in small labs close to the point of sampling. Now most samples are analysed in purpose built laboratories equipped with the most up-to-date instruments, making sampling and the correct transport of the samples critical.
Mobile analytical equipment provides quantitative screening so only critical samples need to be sent for full laboratory evaluation. On-site analysis also has the benefit of being carried out in real time so can provide an up to the minute picture of an environmental system.
Simple visual analytical techniques such as strips and chemical kits using colour charts are ideal to give an approximate idea of the levels of a particular parameter and are extremely cost effective.
