ISO 18589-2 Gamma Spectrometry of Environmental Samples
The ISO 18589-2 standard specifies the methodology for gamma spectrometry to determine the concentration and identification of radionuclides in environmental samples. This service is critical for ensuring compliance with radiation safety regulations, identifying sources of radioactive contamination, and assessing the impact on ecosystems and human health.
Our laboratory utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and rigorous quality control measures to ensure accurate and reliable results. The process begins with thorough sample preparation, which may include digestion using strong acids or leaching processes depending on the nature of the sample matrix. Once prepared, samples are placed in a suitable container and transported to our lab for analysis.
The gamma spectrometer detects and quantifies emitted photons from radionuclides within the sample. The energy spectrum generated by the instrument is then analyzed using sophisticated software that compares the observed data against known isotopic signatures. This allows us to identify specific radionuclides present in your environmental samples along with their respective concentrations.
Our team of experienced professionals ensures all aspects of this service meet international standards such as ISO 18589-2, ensuring confidence in our results. Compliance with these guidelines is essential for organizations operating under strict regulatory frameworks or involved in research focused on understanding radiation levels in the environment.
This service provides valuable insights into environmental contamination issues that could have significant implications for public health and safety. By identifying hazardous materials early through precise gamma spectroscopy techniques, we help prevent further spread of contamination while providing actionable data to mitigate risks effectively.
