ISLAMABAD, Apr 26 (APP): Central Laboratory for E
nvironmental Analysis and Networking (CLEAN) of Pakistan E
nvironmental Protection Agency (Pak-EPA), known for its dedication to top-notch e
nvironmental analysis, announced the addition of advanced Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) technology here on Friday.
This new equipment upgrade and highlights Pak-EPA’s technical capability to monitor water quality of Islamabad and profile potential pollution sources, a news release said.
CLEAN is a leading e
nvironmental analysis facility in Pakistan, equipped with state-of-the-art analytical equipment, specializing in air, water, and soil analysis.
CLEAN Laboratory is committed to providing accurate and reliable e
nvironmental data to support regulatory compliance, research projects, and e
nvironmental management efforts.
ICP-OES is a powerful tool used to detect and measure small amounts of elements and metals in various types of samples. It helps to explore different e
nvironmental ma
terials with great accuracy and speed.
“Today marks a momentous occasion for Pak-EPA,” stated Farzana Altaf Shah, Director General of the Pakistan E
nvironmental Protection Agency, alongside Dr. Zaigham Abbas, Director of Lab/NEQS.
The acquisition of ICP-OES instrument revolutionizes our e
nvironmental analysis capabilities, enabling us to delve deeper into e
nvironmental samples and provide important information about pollution levels and e
nvironmental health.
ICP-OES is a versatile analytical technique for e
nvironmental analysis, detecting heavy metal contamination in soil, water, and air samples at levels as low as parts per billion (ppb). It also analyzes nutrient levels in agricultural and ecological samples and assesses metal content in industrial effluents. With its multi-element capability, low detection limits, and wide dynamic range, ICP-OES offers efficient and sensitive analysis, making it indispensable for e
nvironmental research and management.
In its inaugural operation, the ICP-OES instrument at CLEAN Laboratory analyzed a batch of 140 samples of wastewater from textile industry, further underscoring its efficacy in real-world e
nvironmental monitoring applications. Leveraging this technology, we are e
xcited to announce that our new ICP-OES machine has successfully analyzed samples of wastewater from textile industries.
As Pakistan’s top e
nvironmental analysis facility, CLEAN Lab is dedicated to providing innovative solutions and scientific expertise to tackle e
nvironmental challenges. With the new ICP-OES technology, Directorate of Lab/NEQS continues to lead the way in e
nvironmental research and analysis, setting new standards for excellence in e
nvironmental monitoring..
