Identification and quantification of environmental contaminants
Environmental Contaminant Analysis: Control Pollution Risks
Environmental contaminants represent a major challenge for many industrial sectors. Whether chemical residues, heavy metals, pesticides, or microbiological contaminants, their presence can impact product quality, consumer safety, and regulatory compliance. YesWeLab supports you in the detection, identification, and quantification of these substances thanks to a network of specialized laboratories and cutting-edge analytical methods.
Are you looking for an analysis?
Analyses adapted to the challenges of your sector
Our environmental contaminant analysis services cover a wide range of matrices and meet current regulatory requirements:
Agri-food
Detection of pesticide residues (LC-MS/MS, GC-MS), heavy metals (ICP-MS), mycotoxins (HPLC), contaminants from packaging (NIAS, MOSH/MOAH).
Animal nutrition and animal health
Detection of contaminants in raw materials and animal feed (dioxins, furans, PCBs, heavy metals).
Nutraceutical
Control of contaminants in food supplements (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons – PAHs, residual solvents, pesticides, dioxins/PCBs, residues of phytosanitary products).
Plants and cosmetics
Analysis of undesirable substances in plant extracts and cosmetic products (endocrine disruptors, allergens, heavy metals, regulated preservatives).
Environment
Monitoring of water pollution (pesticides, pharmaceutical residues, PFAS), soil (hydrocarbons, PAHs) and air (VOCs, fine particles).
Advanced analytical methods for reliable expertise
YesWeLab provides you with benchmark analytical techniques to accurately identify and quantify environmental contaminants:
- Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS, GC-MS/MS, HS-GC-MS) : analysis of pesticides, PAHs, volatile solvents.
- Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS, UPLC-MS/MS) : detection of mycotoxins, drug residues, persistent organic contaminants.
- Optical emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-OES, ICP-MS) : determination of heavy metals in water, food and finished products.
- Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR, NIR) : identification of polymers and unknown substances in materials and packaging.
Expertise to ensure the compliance and safety of your products
Standards and regulations impose strict thresholds for many contaminants: Regulation (EC) 1881/2006 for contaminants in food, REACH regulation for chemical substances, Directive 98/83/EC for water quality. Thanks to YesWeLab, you benefit from analyses that comply with European and international regulatory requirements, thus ensuring the safety and compliance of your products.
