Environmental Laboratory Testing
Environmental testing supports regulatory monitoring, site investigation and remediation through analysis of water, soil, sediment, waste and air matrices.
When is it used?
- Permit and discharge monitoring
- Site investigation and remediation
- Due diligence for property or acquisition
- Emerging contaminant programmes
Sample and project requirements
- Use laboratory-supplied containers, preservation and hold times — exceeding them invalidates results.
- Chain of custody documentation is normally required.
