Environmental fate studies
Environmental fate studies
Understand the journey, ensure compliance and protect the environment
In today’s regulatory landscape, understanding how chemicals behave in the environment plays a critical role in protecting ecosystems and supporting regulatory compliance. Eurofins Agroscience Services India offers comprehensive environmental fate (e-fate) testing services to support the safe use of chemicals and meet the stringent requirements of global regulatory bodies.
With proven expertise in working with both radiolabelled and non-radiolabelled (cold) compounds, we deliver accurate, reliable data that helps you understand the persistence, mobility, and transformation of your products in the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQ )
Environmental fate studies are essential to determine how long your chemical persists in different environmental compartments and what transformation products may result. These insights are crucial for risk assessment and regulatory approval.
Can you handle radiolabelled substances for degradation studies?
Yes, we specialise in handling radiolabelled compounds safely. Our facilities are fully equipped to conduct radiolabelled studies for tracking degradation pathways and metabolite profiling.
What types of chemicals do you test in environmental fate studies?
We test a wide range of substances including agrochemicals, industrial chemicals, biocides, and specialty chemicals whether in technical-grade or formulated forms.
Are your studies compliant with global regulatory standards?
Absolutely. Our methods align with OECD guidelines and are accepted by regulatory authorities worldwide, including REACH and EPA.
