TECHNICAL SPOTLIGHT: A SINGLE SAMPLE EQUALS MULTIPLE RESULTS
The cost associated with the collection, processing, and quality assurance of compliance sampling is extensive with single results machines. The Xact product line is focused upon the leveraging of a single sample collection producing multiple element results.
ABOUT METALS: WHAT METALS ARE HAZARDOUS?
Metals have been associated with a wide range of environmental and health effects including respiratory and pulmonary disorders, neurotoxicity and cancer. High concentrations of metals in the environment, especially near industrial facilities, are thus a cause for concern. In addition to their potential health effects, metals are especially hazardous because they will not biodegrade; once released into the environment, they will always be available for re-introduction into the air, water and food chain.
