We're now certified to analyze aqueous matrices for trace level (ICPMS) toxic metals. This allows Alpha to further expand their NPDES requirement work while also providing assistance for consultants running trace level studies on storm water, ground water and drinking water projects. Standard RLs are as follows:
  • Ag @ 0.5ug/l
  • Al @ 10
  • As @ 1.0
  • Ba @ 0.5
  • Be @ 0.5
  • Cd @ 0.25
  • Co @ 0.5
