Contaminated soil and groundwater, regardless of the source of contamination, can pose risks to ecosystems and public health. Our laboratories offer a comprehensive range of testing services to identify and characterise contaminants, support the determination of appropriate actions, and help ensure compliance with the requirements of the Environment Quality Act (EQA) and with regulations related to the protection and rehabilitation of land.
The physicochemical properties of soil provide a better understanding of its behaviour and its ability to respond to adverse conditions, such as droughts and flooding.
We test for C10-C50 petroleum hydrocarbons, PAHs, VOCs, dioxins and furans, phenolic compounds, and more.
Analysis of heavy metal concentrations that may interact with and have beneficial or adverse effects on the soil ecosystem (e.g., lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic).
Determination and quantification of asbestos in soil to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
Detection and quantification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in soil to assess their presence and the level of site contamination.
Sediment and sludge testing services measure the presence and concentrations of pollutants and hazardous substances. These analyses support environmental monitoring and the management of waste generated by industrial processes and wastewater treatment.
We test for heavy metals, inorganic compounds, and organic compounds, and analyse physical properties.
Detection and quantification of asbestos in sludge to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
Eurofins Environment Testing Canada laboratories provide testing services for compost and fertilising residual materials to assess their safety, quality, and nutrient content. These analyses help verify compliance with applicable standards and support sustainable agricultural and horticultural practices.
Testing is performed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations to help ensure compliance and safety.
Detection and quantification of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants to support environmental protection and regulatory compliance.
Assessment of nutrient level to help ensure quality and compliance with applicable standards.
Testing of compost and raw materials to detect the presence of pathogenic microorganisms, such as Salmonella and E. coli.
Waste characterisation services help identify the composition and potential hazards associated with different waste streams. This information is essential for proper waste management, supporting recycling decisions, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Conducting analyses to identify and quantify the concentrations of hazardous substances.
