Pollutants

Substances with an undesired effect on humans, animals or the environment are commonly referred to as pollutants, regardless of their origin. If these substances occur in larger quantities or persist over longer periods of time, they are likely to cause harmful effects.

Under the motto “tracking pollutants” we test your samples in our accredited testing laboratory for environmental, GMO & fuel analysis - independently, reliably, efficiently and confidentially. The analysis of specific parameters is our key competence, along with conventional routine analysis.

Tailor-made solutions and individual service are our forte. Upon request, we provide interdisciplinary assessments of measurement results. We tell you whether there is a risk for humans or the environment and we help you take measures to improve the situation.

We are actively involved in EU working groups on chemicals and biocidal products legislation. You will therefore benefit from our expertise in all legal requirements and their implementation according to current EU standards. We also perform assessments of the dangerous properties of products, marketing according to legal regulations, compliance with limit values and risks for environment and human health.

We are leading experts when it comes to planning and performing tests and studies on pollutant issues. We work with you to analyse the problem and we advise you on possible solutions.
