Groundwater Hazardous Substance Screening

Groundwater Hazardous Substance Screening

Groundwater Hazardous Substance Screening

Groundwater is a vital resource that supplies drinking water to millions of people worldwide. Contamination from hazardous substances can have severe environmental and health impacts, making it critical for organizations to ensure the safety and purity of their groundwater sources. Our Groundwater Hazardous Substance Screening service provides comprehensive testing to identify potential contaminants in groundwater, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and safeguarding public health.

The primary goal of this screening is to detect hazardous substances such as heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like benzene, chlorinated solvents, pesticides, and other toxic chemicals. This service supports a wide range of sectors including water utilities, industrial facilities, construction sites, and agricultural operations that rely on groundwater for their operations.

The testing process involves collecting samples from various depths in the aquifer to ensure a representative sample is analyzed. Once collected, the samples are transported to our accredited laboratory where they undergo rigorous analysis using advanced analytical techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). These methods allow for the detection of even trace amounts of hazardous substances.

Our testing follows international standards such as ISO 17025, ASTM D4849, and EN 16352. Compliance with these standards ensures that our results are accurate, reliable, and widely accepted by regulatory bodies around the world. The acceptance criteria for each substance tested depend on local regulations; however, we adhere to strict guidelines set forth in relevant international standards.

By identifying hazardous substances early, organizations can take corrective measures before contamination spreads further into the environment or affects nearby populations. This proactive approach helps prevent costly remediation efforts down the line and protects both human health and the ecosystem.

In addition to detecting contaminants, our service also provides valuable insights into the overall quality of groundwater resources. This information can inform decision-making processes related to water management practices, infrastructure development, and pollution prevention strategies. Our team works closely with clients to interpret test results and provide recommendations tailored specifically for their needs.
