Identification and quantification of environmental contaminants
Environmental contaminant analysis: control the risks associated with pollution
Environmental contaminants pose a major challenge for many industrial sectors. Whether they are 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 through a network of specialized laboratories and cutting-edge analytical methods.
Are you looking for an analysis?
Analyses tailored to the challenges of your sector
Our environmental contaminant analysis services cover a wide range of matrices and meet current regulatory requirements:
Agrifood
Search for 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 plant protection 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 pollution (hydrocarbons, PAHs) and air pollution (VOCs, fine particles).
Advanced analytical methods for reliable expertise
YesWeLab provides you with reference 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, the REACH Regulation for chemical substances, and Directive 98/83/EC for water quality. With YesWeLab, you benefit from analyses that comply with European and international regulatory requirements, ensuring the safety and conformity of your products.
