Environmentally sustainable sample material collection and analysis process can reduce environmental impact by as much as 80%

MINNEAPOLIS (October 4, 2022) — Pace® Analytical Services, a division of Pace® and the preferred provider of in-lab, mobile, and emergency onsite specialty-contaminant and regulatory testing and analysis services, is pleased to announce that Pace® CTO and regional vice president Johnny Mitchell is giving a technical presentation titled: a Sustainable Approach to Environmental Laboratory Analyses during the first annual Vapor Intrusion Conference (AVIP) on Tues., Oct. 11, 2022.

Mr. Mitchell’s presentation will dive into an emerging trend in analytical processes which is improving sustainability by capitalizing on improvements in instrument sensitivity to drastically reduce the volume of samples required to be transported, stored, and processed for analysis. With use of newer instrumentation and methods, sample sizes of only 1 liter can suffice compared to the 6 liters recommended in older EPA methodologies.
