Environmental

Environmental monitoring and testing assess the quality of our air, water, soil, and overall ecosystems. Using advanced technologies and analytical methods, environmental scientists collect and analyze samples to measure levels of pollutants, contaminants, and other factors impacting environmental health. By monitoring changes over time and identifying potential risks to human health, this field plays a vital role in informing policy decisions and implementing effective mitigation strategies. Explore how environmental monitoring and testing contribute to safeguarding our planet's well-being and promoting sustainable development.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that have a low boiling point. Some VOCs are harmful to human health, whereas others can be used to determine the shelf-life of foods samples. PesticidesPesticides are used to protect crops from diseases, pests and unwanted plants. They are classed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and can be harmful to humans. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently regulates the use of pesticides in the USA. Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).Environmental ContaminationContaminants in the environment are harmful chemicals that are present in the air, land and water. These include pesticides, pharmaceuticals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and many more.Thermal DesorptionThermal desorption is a technique used to release volatile compounds from solid samples by heating them. It is often used in environmental testing and analysis of complex materials. Explore thermal desorption systems in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Airborne PollutantsAirborne pollutants are particulates, biological molecules or other harmful materials that exist in the atmosphere. These pollutants are known to cause harm to health and the environment. Examples include persistent organic pollutants (POPs), carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides.
