Environmental Monitoring

 ASL provides comprehensive analytical services and research support in the areas of soil, biological tissues, water, waste water, solid waste and hazardous waste, covering a broad range of federal and state monitoring and testing requirements.  

Analysis of these materials for selected inorganic and organic analytes can be performed either qualitatively or quantitatively.  The ASL professional staff uses the EPA 100, 200, 300, 500 and SW-846 series methods to analyze for metals, pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, PBDEs, chlorinated hydrocarbons, phenols, phthalate esters, and organochlorine pesticides. 

All analytical procedures are matrix specific.  Samples which are not matrix specified for the analysis may incur an additional charge and must have prior approval before sample is accepted.

Preservation and Containers

All samples should be submitted in appropriate containers and with suitable preservation.  EPA Methods prescribe the appropriate preservation for the analysis to be performed, and ASL is able to provide information on these requirements upon request.  Preservation and filtering are available upon request at additional charge --- Contact ASL prior to submitting samples.

Sample containers for inorganic analyses can be provided --- Contact ASL for pricing.

For most organic analyses, amber-colored glass containers are required.  The cost of these bottles has been factored into the cost of analysis and are available to clients for no charge if they are returned containing samples to be analyzed.
