Environmental Sciences - Analytes of Interest

State-of-the-art sampling techniques and analytical methodologies are used to detect environmental contaminants in a variety of matrices.

  • Dioxins/furans

  • Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) Aroclor and congeners

  • Planar PCBs / WH0 Toxic PCB / 209 PCB

  • Organochlorine pesticides (e.g., DDT, chlordane, toxaphane)

  • Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)

  • Organotins (component of anti-fouling paint)

  • Pigments

  • Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) / Aliphatic hydrocarbons

  • PAH bile metabolites

  • Organophosphate pesticides (e.g., chlorpyrifos)

  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

  • Trace elements (e.g., lead, mercury, arsenic, etc.)

  • Semi - Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs)
  • Nutrients

  • Salinity

  • Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) and Polybrominated biiphenyls (PBB)
