APHL’s Environmental Health Department focuses on the role of the laboratory in detecting the presence of contaminants – both in people and in our environment.
APHL supports laboratories as they assess exposure to contaminants both within people and within the environment.
During a chemical spill or terrorist event, laboratories analyze blood to assess exposure.
Environmental laboratories test water and other media to ensure people are not exposed to unhealthy levels of contamination.
