ents
Waters are sampled from a wide variety of sources, but any discharges must comply with discharge consent limits, set by the Ministry of Environment and Forest and Central Polluttion Control Board. CaRE Lab can provide a wide range of tests for routine monitoring, site characterisation, or contamination to water courses. This can include a range of parameters:
• pH and electrical conductivity
• BOD – biochemical oxygen demand
• COD – chemical oxygen demand
• Anions – Cl, NO3, NO2, SO4, PO4
• Ammoniacal nitrogen – free ammonia, ammonium
• Cyanides – Total, Free (easily liberatable), Thiocyanate
• OFG – oils, fats and greases
• Alkalinity – carbonate and bicarbonate
• Hardness
• Solids – total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, total solids
• TOC – total organic carbon
• VOCs – volatile organic compounds
• SVOCs – semivolatile organic compounds
• TPH – GRO, EPH, speciated TPH, BTEX
• PAHs – polyaromatic hydrocarbons
• Metals – As, B, Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe, Al, Be,
CaRE provide suitable sample containers, including appropriate preservatives as specified in BS ISO 5667 for sample collection
Microbiological Tests in water
Following parameters can be tested in our Lab
• Total coliform
• Faecal coliform
• Faecal streptococci
• Enterococcus
• Total plate count
• E. Coli
Hazardous Waste characterisation and categorisation:
CaRE Lab is one of the few laboratories to offer services to meet the landfill directive. Waste can be initially characterised, and then categorised to determine the type of landfill which can accept it. Follow test will be carried out.
• Preparation of Leachate (TCLP extract / water extract)
• Determination of various parameter in Leachate i.e. metal, pesticides etc.
• Corrosivity
• Reactivity
• Ignitability
• Toxicity
AIR QUALITY TESTING
A. Ambient Air / Fugitive Emissions
• Nitrogen dioxide as NO2
• Sulphur dioxide (SO2)
• Total suspended particulate matter
• Respirable suspended particulate matter (PM10)
B. Stack gases/source emission
• Particulate matter
• Sulphur dioxide
• Velocity & flow
• Carbon dioxide
• Carbon monoxide
• Temperature
• Oxygen
• Oxides of nitrogen
