ACT Environmental Services, Inc. services
Laboratory Services
The objective of the ACT Laboratory is to provide clients with timely and accurate sample results. To meet our objective, ACT Laboratory is a participant with the Proficiency Analytical Testing Programs (PAT) through the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) for asbestos, lead, and mold. We are also involved in an inter-laboratory exchange program (round robin) with other AIHA Accredited Laboratories. To ensure intra-laboratory quality control, analysts perform analyses on Reference Materials and Blind Recounts. The ACT Laboratory provides analysis for asbestos in air samples through Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) analysis and suspect asbestos containing bulk materials through Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). ACT is accredited by the AIHA in the industrial hygiene program for both PCM and PLM analysis. We believe that AIHA accreditation ensures the quality of our analysis to meet clients’ needs. This is further reinforced by ACT’s regulated Quality Assurance Program, which monitors a high standard of quality. In an effort to better serve our clients, the laboratory has recently expanded to include in-house leadanalyses of paint, soil, water, and air by means of Atomic Absorption Spectrometry . All analysts are thoroughly trained in the analysis and maintain a rigorous quality assurance program. The laboratory is currently enrolling to participate in the Environmental Lead Proficiency Analytical Testing (ELPAT) program to be AIHA accredited.
