Dioxins and Furans Testing

Experience accuracy and efficiency with our Dioxins and Furans testing service. Utilizing industry-leading instrumentation, experienced experts, and accredited laboratories, we deliver precise results with fast turnaround times. Ensure regulatory compliance with our comprehensive analysis of stack emissions, ash, vegetation, soils, and water samples.

What are Dioxins and Furans?

These damaging substances are primarily created during combustion and manufacturing processes in the chemical and waste industries. As a result, Dioxins and Furans, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), can be found in stack emissions, exhaust gases, smoke, air, ash, vegetation, soils, and water.

Dioxins and Furans are persistent substances that can accumulate in various foods, including livestock, and thereafter in the human body. They’re hazardous substances, as such, their release into the atmosphere and presence on land and in water are highly regulated.

ISO 17025 and MCERTS accredited detection for extremely low-level contamination

Our Dioxins and Furans testing detects traces of Dioxins, Furans, and Dioxin-like PCBs using highly sensitive, high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (HRGC-MS) to measure even the lowest levels of contamination (part per quadrillion) found within the environment, including air, water, soil, and ash.

Element Deeside is accredited to ISO 17025 and the MCERTS standard for the analysis of stack emission samples for Dioxins, Furans, and Dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB 12). Ash samples are ISO 17025 accredited for Dioxins and Furans and PCB 12. In addition, our team offers analysis of Dioxins and Furans on water, soil, and vegetation samples.
