The following tests are recommended when providing  remediation and/or clearance for former ‘meth' laboratories.  These analyses can apply to air, soil, water, and drum waste samples.

 

Acid and Base Components

‘pH'

Sulfate, Chloride,  by IC

Ammonia Compounds (N-NH3, organic-N, and Total by TKN)

Antifreeze Components

Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol by GC/FID

Hydrocarbon Scan

Gasoline Range Organics by GC/FID

Diesel Range Organics by GC/FID

Volatile Organic Scan

Volatiles by GC/MS with a library search

Metals Scan

TAL metals by ICP (plus P)

Cyanide

Cyanide by wet chemistry

 

Full Particle ID

      Identify presence of ‘meth' crystals in carpet, on wallboards, or in the air.  May require FTIR microscope or HPLC analysis.

 

Please note that any soil, containerized materials such as solvents, and water samples may require testing under RCRA for proper disposal.  These requirements may depend on your State's regulations and the disposal facility's analytical requirements.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our laboratory at 1-800-220-3675.
