Brooks Applied Labs’ premise for environmental investigations identifies that marginal data quality and “accepted” methodologies can only provide a rudimentary representation of projected contaminant impacts on flora and fauna. True risk assessment and site interpretation necessitates qualitative and quantitative identification of the specific contaminants of interest accompanied by characterization of the contaminants’ environment.
Analytical and professional services offered by Brooks Applied Labs (BAL) can support all phases of contaminant investigations associated with trace metals. From regulatory compliance monitoring to bench scale treatability studies, BAL scientists can support all of your analytical needs. We continually invest in some of the most advanced technologies available to the scientific community to stay one step ahead of any issues that can impact your project.
Our advanced analytical services set us apart from other routine environmental labs, to help you meet your goals for even the most challenging environmental testing projects.
Brooks Applied Labs offers ultra-low detection limits on:
- Air & Gas Testing
- Industrial Wastewater
- Seawater/Brackish Water
- Soils & Sediments – We specialize in “true” total metals quantification in solids, mercury & methylmercury, pore water extractions, elutriate generation, and bioavailability
- Tissues and Biological Samples
- Water
