Environmental testing can identify and quantify compounds and pollutants in air, water, or soil. Alternatively, environmental testing can verify that a product or piece of equipment will perform as expected once it is out in the world. This can take the form of climate testing (e.g. temperature or humidity) or mechanical testing (e.g. measuring shock or vibration).
Key Applications of Environmental Testing
Environmental test equipment is used in a variety of environments including:
Environmental Chemical Testing,
Agriculture,
Public health and safety,
Field testing,
Petroleum, among others.
Importance of Environmental Testing
The increased worldwide attention focused on environmental testing has heightened demand for instrumentation, including sensitive analytical tests to identify pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
