Heavy metal quantification
Environmental analyses often focus on detecting heavy metals, which can be found in all types of natural samples and may cause harmful health effects when present in high quantities. Metallic elements can be screened from environmental samples using several analysis methods, including the following:
Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES)
Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
Out of these, ICP-OES and ICP-MS are more common, as they can detect multiple elements simultaneously at parts per billion (ppb) levels. With ICP-MS and its high-resolution version, ICP-SFMS, even parts per trillion (ppt) level sensitivity can be achieved.

Water quality analysis
Assessing the quality of drinking water and other water samples is a common aim of environmental testing. In addition to heavy metals, we can help screen water for a range of microbiological and chemical pollutants, such as coliform bacteria, microplastics, PFAS, PAH, and VOC. If intended for human consumption, water quality can be evaluated against the new EU Drinking Water Directive, which sets strict limits for the presence of contaminants.
Soil and sediment testing
Soil can be analyzed to detect environmental contaminants in areas close to known sources of pollution, such as mills and factories. Testing may also focus on identifying nutrients that are essential for plant growth. For sediment analysis, a common driving factor is assessing suitability for dredging and disposal.
