The Analytical Services Laboratory of the Elliot Lake Research Field
Station was established in 1992. The initial work of the laboratory was to support
research into the effects of low-level radioactivity on the environment resulting from
regional uranium mine waste tailings.
Building on this solid base, the laboratory began providing
analytical services in support of local decommissioning and environmental monitoring
programs in the region. The laboratory currently provides a wide range of
inorganic
and
radionuclide
analytical
services to private industry in support of soil / manure / plant / animal tissue
analysis, effluent treatment plant operations, and environmental effects monitoring and research.
ELRFS is ISO 17025 accredited by the Canadian
Association of Environmental Analytical Laboratories (CAEAL) for specific
environmental tests listed in the Scope of Accreditation. Accreditation is the formal recognition of the competence of a
laboratory to achieve and demonstrate the highest levels of scientific and management excellence through the combined principles of Competence, Consistency, Credibility and Communication.
CAEAL member laboratories voluntarily participate in rigorous programs of proficiency testing and accreditation, demonstrating their commitment to generate high quality
data.
