Services
The ALS Environmental Division, employing over 2000 staff and with a worldwide footprint of over 40 laboratories, offices and service centres provides a full range of environmental analytical testing services. The Division specializes in the analysis of soil, sediment, water (raw, waste, drinking, catchment, recycled, saline, product), leachates, dust, air (indoor, stack, ambient), gas and biota.
The range of analytical services provided across the abovementioned matrices includes routine, trace and ultra trace level organics (volatile and semi volatile, herbicides, pesticides, PCBs and disinfection byproducts), metals and nutrients, inorganic non metallics, microbiological, biological, toxicological parameters, particle sizing and radio nucleotides.
Centres of Excellence across the division specialize in super ultra trace analysis specific to the semi conductor, electronics and pharmaceutical industries, the determination of specific organo metallics and current and emerging persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in various matrices.
Data derived from ALS Environmental Division Laboratories is typically used in the following applications:
- Environmental baseline and compliance monitoring programs
- Site assessment and remediation
- Sediment Assessment for dredging
- Drinking, Catchment, Recycled and Desalination water monitoring
- Occupational hygiene
- Waste characterization
- Other disciplines requiring a sophisticated analytical approach
Analysis methods are based on well-established, internationally-recognized procedures such as those published by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the American Public Health Association (APHA) as well as local country standards. R&D teams throughout the division are challenged and deliver on specific methodologies which may be unique to specific client applications.
