The Air Testing Specialists since 1985

...Innovation ... Quality ... Service

Environmental Analytical Service (EAS) is a dedicated Air Testing Laboratory that has specialized in Ambient Air Analysis, Indoor Air Quality Testing, Source Analysis, Product Testing and Gas Analysis for over 20 years.  EAS was founded by Dr. Steven Hoyt in 1985 as the first commercial air testing laboratory that specialized in the measurement of low level organic compounds in air and gas samples using cryogenic trapping with SUMMA canisters, this methodology, developed at the Oregon Graduate Institute later became the foundation of EPA Method TO-14.  Continuing in its quest for innovation, EAS developed a  Data Deliverable Packages (CLP) for air samples in the early 1990's for use in the EPA special analytical services, SAS Program. EAS was the first air lab to offer the EPA 8260 target list for air samples so soil and water data could be compared to air data.  EAS was the first commercial air lab to offer SIM testing in 1985 to get detection limits of 0.005 ppbv for risk assessment and vapor intrusion analysis.

Environmental Analytical Service has had a commitment to quality since it opened its doors in 1985.  EAS has always had a fully documented Quality Assurance program, but more importantly the staff at EAS has been trained to be always looking at the data - whether it is calibrations, blanks, or samples to make sure that the data makes sense based on our years of experience.  This is something that automated processing and computer reviews cannot do - it is possible to pass QC criteria, and still have incorrect data.  Over the years, EAS has participated in audits, performance testing samples, inter-laboratory comparisons, and has worked directly for the US EPA, Navy, Air Force, California Air Resources Board and many large consultants such as URS, Parsons, Tetra Tech, Metcalf & Eddy, and for some of you old timers: Radian, OHM, and Foster Wheeler, to name a few.  Currently EAS is NELAP Certified for our Air Testing Services.
