Environmental
Laboratory & Testing in Lee, MA

Across water, soil, air, and waste, Microbac Laboratories provides complete analytical testing for environmental projects. That includes routine compliance testing and specialized environmental investigations for drinking water, wastewater, ground and surface water, PFAS, Legionella, radiochemicals, speciated metals, and many other contaminants. We also work with clients on method selection so the analytical approach fits the project’s objectives, the regulatory requirements, and the conditions in the field.

Testing requirements are driven by your facility’s operations, permit conditions, industry regulations, and governing agencies. For a Lee facility, MassDEP and, for some sites, EPA Region 1 set much of that. Compliance obligations can be very technical, so our experts work with clients to review applicable requirements and recommend testing programs that meet environmental regulations and support efficient operational compliance. We want to make it as easy as possible and offer good technical guidance from the start.

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, is a class of long-lasting synthetic chemicals that has come under increasing regulation due to its persistence in the environment and potential effects on human health, and Massachusetts has some of the strictest PFAS drinking water standards in the country. Testing responsibility falls on public agencies and private organizations alike. Microbac Laboratories offers full-scope PFAS testing to help clients identify potential contamination and prepare for present and future regulatory requirements.
