Wastewater Chemical Safety Testing
The testing of wastewater chemical safety is a critical component in environmental and public health protection. As industries grow more complex, so do their waste streams, which can contain a wide array of hazardous substances that pose risks to both the environment and human health.
Our laboratory offers comprehensive wastewater chemical safety testing services designed to ensure compliance with international standards such as ISO 14025, ASTM D7896, and EN 14362. Our team specializes in evaluating the toxicity, biodegradability, and overall impact of various chemicals present in wastewater streams.
For a typical testing process, we first collect samples from your facility's wastewater system. Specimen preparation involves diluting or concentrating the sample to ensure accurate analysis. Once prepared, these samples are analyzed using advanced analytical techniques including GCMS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) and LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry).
Our rigorous testing ensures that all regulated chemicals meet stringent safety thresholds set by regulatory bodies like the EPA, OSHA, and WHO. This includes identifying potential carcinogens, mutagens, and other harmful compounds. Additionally, we assess biodegradability according to OECD 301 series tests to determine whether pollutants will break down naturally in aquatic ecosystems.
The importance of accurate wastewater chemical safety testing cannot be overstated. Inadequate treatment can lead to severe environmental pollution, affecting water quality, aquatic life, and potentially human health through contaminated drinking water sources. By partnering with us for regular assessments, you not only comply with legal requirements but also contribute positively towards sustainability goals.
Our state-of-the-art facilities coupled with experienced scientific personnel guarantee reliable results that are accepted worldwide by regulatory authorities. With this service, we provide peace of mind knowing that your industrial activities do not compromise the integrity of our planet's most precious resource – clean water.
Applied Standards
The testing procedures for wastewater chemical safety adhere to several internationally recognized standards which ensure consistency and accuracy across different laboratories. These include:
- ISO 14025:2017 – Environmental Labeling and Claims General Requirements: Ensures that our test methods are transparent and verifiable.
- ASTM D7896-13: Standard Guide for Estimating Concentrations of Organic Compounds in Water by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS): Provides guidelines on estimating concentrations using GC/MS technology.
- EN 14362-1:2009 – Determination of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand: Measures the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms when breaking down organic matter in water samples.
- OECD 301 Series Tests: Biodegradability Testing: Evaluates the biodegradation potential under controlled laboratory conditions, ensuring compliance with international regulations on hazardous waste management.
These standards provide a robust framework for conducting thorough and reliable wastewater chemical safety testing, allowing us to deliver precise results that meet regulatory requirements globally.
