Reliable analysis of organic sum parameters
Organic sum parameters provide insight into the presence of organic contaminants in environmental samples. These analyses are widely used to assess the quality of water, soil, sludge and industrial waste streams.
Normec performs reliable analyses of organic sum parameters such as TOC, AOX, EOX, POX, mineral oil and phenol index. Our specialists help you interpret the results and support you with environmental issues and laws and regulations.
The parameters are often used as indicators for larger groups of organic substances. This gives you quick insight into possible contaminants and risks.
