Elevated levels of microbes in surface water indicate nearby contamination sources, typically related to livestock or human activity.
ALS provides a wide range of microbiological analysis for wastewater and associated samples. This includes methods for the detection, quantification, confirmation, and identification of specific bacteria, and suites of investigative analysis including microscopy to assess the quality and microbial content of wastewater treatment processes.
This group of compounds can act as reliable indicators of contamination or disturbances.
