The Chemical Analysis laboratory undertakes physical and chemical analysis and tests for most of the environmental samples. The laboratory is also used as a tool for research in several fields, in addition to its role in assisting consultations training technical services.
In 1996, the laboratory initiated its work in co-operation with the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) by applying the “Fingerprinting Technique”. This was done by using the four different standard methods of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM). These standard methods compares the spilled oil samples with other oil samples from suspected sources.
To adapt with the developmental policy used by the Crisis and Disaster Management Systems to maintain the state of the art technologies, the laboratory was also upgraded and updated to achieve the main objectives in different fields such as:
The laboratory is equipped with the latest instruments required for research and analysis. All the standard tests in the fields of industry, research and environmental studies may also be performed for scientific institutes and organizations working in the field of environment.
