The Chemical Laboratory (LCh) is accredited to PN/EN ISO/IEC 17025 by the Polish Centre for Accreditation. Since 2000 our laboratory posses the certificate (no. AB 283) in the field of analyzed chemical and physical properties and the analyzed objects: water, soils, sediments, environmental and geological samples, plant materials (identification codes of the analytical field/ analyzed objects C/1; C/3; C/31; C/32; N/31; N/32).

Scope of the Laboratory activity

• Determination of major and trace elements and organic compounds, sequential speciation analysis in geological and environmental samples
• Performing chemical analyses of geological and environmental samples for the Polish Geological Survey, the Polish Hydrogeological Survey, the State Environment Monitoring and the others
• Research work with the aim of widening analytical determinations range
• Participation in interlaboratory comparisons
• Cooperation with the laboratories of the institute regional branches
• Organizing general and specific trainings, cooperation and advising on analytical methods
• Training of students from the leading Polish universities in terms of analytical methods
