Microscopy from EMSL.


Environmental health departments have been relying on EMSL Analytical, Inc., for over 18 years. A full-service analytical laboratory, EMSL provides quick turnaround times for a wide range of samples. All analyses offer data integrity repeatability and efficiency. In addition, a fully accredited accredited

recognition by an appropriate authority that the performance of a particular institution has satisfied a prestated set of criteria.

EMSL analyzes for asbestos, lead, silica, metals, organic materials, inorganic materials, PCBs, pesticides, molds, spore counts, pollen, fiberglass, proteins, starches, polymers, indoor air quality Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) deals with the content of interior air that could affect health and comfort of building occupants. The IAQ may be compromised by microbial contaminants (mold, bacteria), chemicals (such as carbon monoxide, radon), allergens, or any mass or energy stressor , food defects, manufacturing defects, surface properties, coatings, and corrosion.
