Organochlorine pesticides (OCP) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) Testing Services

OCP have widely used in agriculture due to their practical application eradicating insect problems and PCBs are being used for inks and organic dyes. However these compounds also effect human health and their toxicities are persistent. Despite being discontinued, they are still found in many areas around the world and continue to steep through to our foods, soil and water system. Here at PPB Analytical, we have highly sensitive mass spectroscopy coupled with HPLC and UPLC to detect these compounds in parts per trillion level.

Laboratory Testing for Energy Companies Seeking Sample Analyses of Fuel, Gas, Oil, and Lubricants.

Fuel, gas, and oil assays vary in depth and complexity, dependent upon type and customer requirements. PPB Analytical provides standard assay and custom evaluations and analyses. Individual characterizations can be presented in a variety of formats. Due to the unique molecular characteristics of each substance, related assays, analysis requirements, and reporting formats, services are offered by PPB Analytical on a test or project quotation basis.

Laboratory Testing for Cosmetic Sample Analyses

There are many chemicals found in consumer cosmetic products. Official testing ensures that the conditions prescribed in Community provisions regarding the composition of cosmetic products are respected. There have been several updates in the European Commission Directive from EU legislation pertaining to the methods of analysis necessary for checking the composition of cosmetic products. PPB Analytical provides both standard and custom laboratory testing and analyses of chemicals found in consumer cosmetic products. PPB Analytical provides both standard and custom laboratory testing and analyses of chemicals found in consumer cosmetic products.

PPB Analytical’s Food Chemistry Testing ranges from vitamins, minerals, additives, proteins, sugars, fats, flavours, and colours. Food contaminants have been found to produce serious health risks to the public. Securing the food supply is paramount to the public. Some typical tests that PPB.

Laboratory Testing for Mining and Metals Analyses

Knowledge of the content of a miner’s mineral and ore reserves, while essential, are not the only concerns miners in Ontario have. Ontario miners must follow the Mining Act. Mining Regulations state that all reasonable measures to prevent personal injury or property damage must be followed when developing or suspending mining operations.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) Testing Services

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) are commonly refers to a large class of organic compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen and consist of two or more fused aromatic rings. PAHs are emitted into the Canadian environment from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Forest fires, which releases approximately 2000 tons of PAHs per year.

Petroleum Hydrocarbons (PHC) Testing Services

PHC is a term used to describe a broad family of several hundred chemical compounds that originally come from crude oil. They are one of the most widespread soils contaminates in Canada. Because modern society uses so many petroleum-based products (for example, gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil, mineral oil, and asphalt), contamination of the environment by them is potentially widespread.  Everyone is exposed to PHCs from many sources, including gasoline fumes at the pump, spilled crankcase oil on pavement, chemicals used at home or work, or certain pesticides that contain PHC components as solvents.

Volatile and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Testing Services

VOCs are organic compounds containing one or more carbon atoms that have high vapor pressures and therefore evaporate readily into our atmosphere. VOCs are primarily precursors to the formation of ground level ozone and particulate matter. They are the key ingredients for the formation of smog and are known to have adverse effects on human health and environment. Air pollution has been shown to have significant adverse effect to human health including lung cancer, heart disease and frequent hospitalization. Furthermore, evidence has shown that level ozone can have detrimental impact on the environment. This impact can lead to reductions in agricultural crop, reduced growth of tree seedling, survivability of young trees and other environmental stresses.
