ALS Environmental have been confirmed as the main sponsor for the 13th Annual International AquaConSoil Conference which will be taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark between the 9th and 12th June 2015.
The conference will be running with four key themes throughout the three days, these are:
- Dealing with contamination of soil groundwater and sediment
- Soil, groundwater and sediment in the biobased, circular economy
- Managing multiple functions of the subsurface
- The role of the subsurface in climate change adaption

ALS Environmental UK will be represented by Dr James Taylor, who will be on hand to discuss with delegates the benefits of using MALDI-ToF confirmations, with regards to their time savings and additional species level information. Dr Taylor will also be on hand to discuss the use of OnSite Analytical Tools for the rapid identification of metals and hydrocarbons and the potential time savings, along with financial benefit, of using such technology.
The conference will provide an opportunity for ALS to showcase our European capabilites, with experts on hand to discuss:
Advanced Isotope Testing
Isotope ratios are recognised investigation methods for environmental consultants across a broad spectrum of sectors including geology and tracing of pollution or exposure sources. ALS employ the latest analytical technology and instruments (MC-ICP-MS and HR-ICP-MS) to deliver the right solution with high precision in this specialist field.

MALDI-ToF Confirmations
The MALDI-ToF can analyse any bacteriological colony and provide an instant confirmation of both the Genus and in over 98% of environmental samples a full species identification. ALS report Legionella positive results on the day of the read saving clients 2 days essentially removing the presumptive stage of confirmation.

Risk Assessment Using Ecotoxicity
As a compliment to targeted chemical testing, ecotoxicity tests give a direct response on how pollutants affect aquatic and terrestrial organisms. ALS reports EC50 / IC50 values for a number of test species in accordance with European legislation and clients´ specific requests.

Radiology
Gross Alpha and Gross Beta activity form part of the Drinking Water analysis suite that is legislated throughout Europe. Utilising HR gamma Spectrometery ALS are able to provide a broad range of natural and artificial radionuclitides to potentially help identify the source of contamination.
