Detecting environmental contaminantsOur capabilities include determination of trace amounts of environmental contaminants and detection of these contaminant chemicals in biological systems, humans and food producing animals.

  • Cancer
  • Asthma
  • Asbestos contamination
  • Air analysis

ChemCentre also offers specialist analytical and collaborative research services in many areas of environmental and atmospheric chemistry:

  • Comprehensive, independent scientific support to monitor, evaluate and advise on the quality of the environment
  • Investigate problems associated with contaminated air including odour complaints. This will involve measurement of chemicals in air and also in water and soil

We also provide consultancy services on whether an organisation complies with regulations and laws relating to its effluent and waste discharges and on issues including contaminated sites, management of industrial wastes and occupational health.

  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (US-EPA TO14, TO17, ASTM)
  • Carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) (USEPA TO11)
  • Odours (NIOSH 2549)
  • Unknown atmospheric compounds (NIOSH 2549)
  • Fumes from welding and allied processes (AS3853)
  • Respirable Quartz (NH&MRC)
  • Inspirable and respirable dust (AS3640 and AS2985)
  • Characterisation of dusts, fibres and asbestos
