Testing environmental contamination
Description
Testing environmental contamination involves systematically collecting and analyzing samples of air, water, soil, and biota to detect and quantify pollutants. This essential action enables the identification of contamination sources, assessment of exposure risks, and evaluation of compliance with environmental standards. By providing accurate data, it supports targeted remediation efforts, informs regulatory enforcement, and guides public health interventions, thereby mitigating environmental hazards and preventing further ecological and human health impacts.
