Asbestos Analysis
We are able to isolate, identify and quantify all types of asbestos (chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite and anthophyllite) in virtually all types of materials such as cements, vermiculite, insulation materials, as well as floor and ceiling tiles. The centralization of all our equipment under one roof allows us to offer a fast and efficient service for all your asbestos and dust analysis needs.
