Environmental Analytical
Chemistry
Environmental Chemistry Analyses are performed
with modern, sophisticated equipment and
analytical methods of highest quality, by
professionally trained staff, according to our quality
control procedures. Among the Analytical services
offered are trace analysis of:
Organic compounds such as:
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s), as congenors
or aroclors
Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chlorinated
and non-chlorinated phenols
MDDEP and pulp and paper (phenols, fatty and
resinic acids)
Volatile organic compounds (BTEX, MAH, THH,
THM, MTBE, etc.)
Petroleum Hydrocarbons,CCME-CWS-PHC, TPH
from C6 to C100 (fractions F1 to F4) , diesel, fuel
oil and others.
GC/MS characterization for volatile and semi-
volatile compounds (VOC and SVOC)
Qualitative identification of unknown
compounds
Pesticides in water, wastewater, soil and tissue
(Organochlorines, Organophosphates,
Phenoxys, diquat/ paraquat, and glyphosates).
Multiresidue screens up to 200 compounds
Compounds listed in EPA methods (EPA 502, 624,
625, etc.)
Formaldehyde, glycols and alcohols
Methane in water (Coal Bed Methane)
Sulfolane
Drilling wastes and landfill characterization
including leachates (BC and Alberta)
Inorganic compounds such as:
Metals and major cations by AA, GFAA, ICP and
ICP-MS
Major anions (Cl, SO4, NO2, NO3, PO4, F,
etc.) by automated colorimetry and ion
chromatography
