National Biomonitoring Plan
We need to know about chemicals we can be exposed to in different environments. APHL can help. More.

Our Work

APHL supports governmental laboratories working to protect people from hazardous contaminants in the environment, through the detection of contaminants – both in people and in the environment. Through technical assistance, training and guidance, APHL strengthens the analytical capability and testing capacity nationally.
