Laboratory and Testing

Environmental laboratory and testing services encompass a wide range of activities aimed at assessing and monitoring environmental quality and compliance with regulations. These services are crucial for various industries, government agencies, and research institutions to ensure environmental safety and sustainability. Some key areas typically covered by environmental laboratory and testing services include:

a) Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (As per NAAQS)

Monitoring of ambient air to measure pollutants such as particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to ensure compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

b) Stack Emission Monitoring

Analysis of emissions from industrial stacks to measure pollutants and ensure compliance with emission standards and regulatory requirements.

c) Water and Wastewater Sampling and Analysis

i) Effluent: Analysis of wastewater discharged from industrial processes or sewage treatment plants.
ii) Sewage: Assessment of sewage to determine its quality and potential environmental impact.
iii) Groundwater: Testing to evaluate groundwater quality and detect contaminants.
iv) Surface water: Analysis of surface water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.
v) Drinking water (IS 10500:2012): Testing of drinking water to ensure it meets Indian standards for potable water quality.
vi) Packaged Drinking water: Analysis of bottled water to verify compliance with regulatory standards.

d) Solid Hazardous Waste Sample Analysis

Evaluation of solid hazardous wastes to determine their composition, toxicity, and potential environmental risks.

e) Soil and Sediment Analysis

i) Industrial Soil Sample Analysis: Testing of soil from industrial sites to assess contamination levels and potential impacts.
ii) Irrigation Soil Analysis: Analysis for nutrients (NPK content), trace metals, organic contaminants, and physical characteristics to ensure soil suitability for agricultural use.

f) Ambient Noise Monitoring

Measurement of ambient noise levels in the environment to assess potential impacts on human health and wildlife.

g) Illumination (LUX) Monitoring

Monitoring of illumination levels to evaluate lighting conditions in various environments.

h) Bio Assay

Testing to assess the biological effects of contaminants on organisms, often used to determine environmental toxicity.

i) Microbiological Testing

Analysis of environmental samples for microbial contaminants, pathogens, and indicators of water quality.

j) Sample Testing on Instrument : AAS, GC, HPLC, UV-VIS Spectrophotometer

Utilization of advanced analytical instruments such as Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Gas Chromatography (GC), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and UV-VIS Spectrophotometry to analyze samples for specific compounds and pollutants.

k) Heavy metal and Trace metal analysis in water, wastewater, soil, hazardous waste and other product samples

Testing to quantify heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury, cadmium) and trace metals in various environmental matrices to assess contamination levels and potential risks.
