some of the most complex and time sensitive analysis you may require:

Drinking Water
Taiga Environmental Laboratory understands your concerns about clean and safe drinking water supplies. Our laboratory offers testing for microbiological contamination (Total and Fecal Coliforms, E. Coli, Faecal Strep), and general water quality parameters (pH, conductivity, alkalinity, turbidity, colour, metals, etc.). We also have a Drinking Water Package, designed to cover the requirements of the Drinking Water Quality Guidelines.
 
Sewage Analysis
Taiga's wide range of analytical services includes all of the inorganic and microbiological parameters you need to fulfill your specific water license requirements. We can accommodate annual, monthly, or weekly sampling programs as needed.
 
Effluent Quality
Taiga offers you the chemical and microbiological analysis needed to assess the quality of effluent produced by municipal and industrial activities.
 
Analysis of Animal Tissue
Taiga has extensive experience preparing and analyzing a variety of mammal and fish tissues for metal contaminants.
 
Baseline Monitoring
Baseline monitoring programs are an integral part of preserving our northern environment. Taiga Environmental Laboratory assists clients who are working with CCME guidelines for metals and other inorganic compounds with our low detection limits. We are also pleased to offer our new Ultra Low detection limits for trace metal samples for freshwater systems (some conditions apply).
 
Waste Characterization
Taiga can assist you with the identification and quantification of inorganic (metals) and organic (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons [TPH], Cyanide, etc.) contaminants.
 
And, if you have a specialized project, our professional staff can customize analysis to your required specifications.
