Monitoring surface and ground water provides environmental professionals with the necessary information to ensure both environmental as well as human health. Whether the water in question is used as a drinking water source, receives wastewater, or simply supports the environmental around it, monitoring its quality is essential. Using approved analytical methods, scientists monitor for complex chemical pollutants such as inorganic anions and cations, metals, radionuclides and organic contaminants using a range of PerkinElmer solutions including ICP-OES, ICP-MS, GC, GC-MS, LC, LC-MS and others. These solutions provide reliable, robust, sensitive, and efficient results that allow for more informed decision making by water managers.
