Environmental Testing


Environmental testing and analysis is at the core of ALS Environmental. Our chemists have valuable experience working on projects related to the aerospace, chemical, electronics, pulp and paper, petroleum, marine, transportation and waste management industries.
Our comprehensive services cover routine analyses and specialty testing services such as low-level environmental analysis of air, water, soil, sediment, and tissue; indoor air, landfill gas and source testing determinations; microbiology; industrial hygiene; and biological toxicity screening. Our laboratories perform work under multiple federal and state certification programs and national accreditation programs.

Air Testing
Our air quality laboratory specializes in the analysis of volatile and semi-volatile compounds in samples such as ambient air, landfill gas, soil gas, industrial source emissions, odor analyses and indoor air quality investigations. This facility analyzes whole-air samples, as well as those requiring solvent or thermal desorption.

Odor Testing
Our air quality laboratory offers four different sampling and analytical methods to address compounds with very low odor thresholds. Many of these chemical agents are also noxious or irritating at low levels.

PCB Congener & Aroclor Testing
PCB congeners are chlorine-substituted biphenyl compounds. Individual congeners are identified by the number and position of the chlorine atoms around the biphenyl rings. There are 209 possible PCB congeners, ranging from the mono-substituted 2-chlorobiphenyl to the fully-substituted decachlorobiphenyl.

Pore Water Testing
Much of our analytical work is in support of dredging, remedial investigation, feasibility studies and risk assessment, which, in many cases, require extremely low-level detection limits.

Pulp & Paper Mill Testing
The wood products / pulp & paper industry has specialized environmental testing and analysis services unique to its industry. Such testing includes resin and fatty acid analysis, speciation of total reduced sulfur (TRS) components, chlorinated by-products of the pulping/bleaching process, and MACT and Cluster Rule analyses.

Sediment Testing
We specialize in the testing analysis of sediment, including from marine and freshwater. Much of our analytical work is in support of dredging, remedial investigation, feasibility studies and risk assessment, which, in many cases, require extremely low-level detection limits.
