Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP) Testing

Environmental pollution is a problem in both developed and developing countries due to population growth and urbanization, which happened since the onset of the industrial revolution. This technology progress has facilitated the production of pollutants. The area of service is defined as the investigation of the chemicals in the environment, such as heavy metal, dioxins, and polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), which could bring toxic effects to human being. This service will assist private or government agencies to understand the potential effects from hazardous environmental exposures to the public health. The analyses which are provided by ABrC are:

1. Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs) and Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in Oil, Fish and Feed
2. Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and Polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) in Oil, Fish and Feed
