Thailand
is now becoming an industrialized country.
the nation use chemical pesticides and many other toxic
chemical for industrial process. Environmental health is
a major issue. Metal poisoning associated with mining
industry was discovered in many patients who lived in
the vicinity Industry surge trends to move pollution industries
out of move industrialized countries to keep the
costs
down. Occupational health and safety is also a problem in

it first acute facility in Srinakarin Road Bangkok and quickly established
its reputation in the
rapidly growing private center for field of health and environment.

working area investigation which controlled by the OSHA/NIOSH
and the surrounding
environments such as community and residential area which regulated by the
EPA
and BMA or other province administration.

substances in the environment is heavy metals in air such as Pb, Zn, Cu, Mn
etc., The
organic vapors such as Benzene, Xylene, Toluene etc., The analytical procedures
will be
conducted using
advanced instruments is AAS and GC.
Services for Analyses of water quality,Soil and
sediment: Inspection and Analysis of
waste water in accordance with standard method.(AWWA) The laboratory can provide
sampling and analysis for every parameters coded in The federal standards.
