Environmental testing solutions for air, water and soil
The rapid increase in public awareness of and understanding and concern for environmental protection has led to stricter emissions regulations and standards. Monitoring emissions in air, water and soil is key in all industries.
From sampling to results
In the past, analyses were carried out in small labs close to the point of sampling. Today, most samples are analyzed far from the point of sampling, in purpose-built laboratories equipped with the most up-to-date instruments; this makes the use of optimal practices for sampling and transport critical.
Mobile analytical equipment allows for on-site quantitative screening, meaning only critical samples need to be sent away for full laboratory evaluation. On-site analysis also has the benefit of being carried out in real time, providing an up-to-the-minute picture of an environmental system.
Simple visual analytical techniques, such as strips and chemical kits using color charts, may be ideal for estimating emissions levels and can be very cost effective.
