Test Description

The drinking water industry is highly regulated across the world. There is a related responsibility to ensure that wastewater is effectively treated to reduce environmental pollution.  Fapas waste water proficiency test samples replicate those used to test for potential environmental contamination, covering a wide range of determinands. These include standard oxygen demand and physical parameters as well as trace metals and nutrients.

Within this proficiency test, your testing ability for Phthalates will be evaluated.  Phthalates have been classified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals and potential cancer-causing agents.

Phthalates are a group of synthetic compounds mainly used within plastics, and as such can affect wastewaters.  Phthalates are becoming more of a concern within wastewater as the use of plastics continues to grow.  As a result, it is important to ensure your testing measures are fit for purpose and able to highlight a range of phthalates within wastewater samples
