National Asbestos Awareness Week (NAAW), taking place April 1-7, serves as an important reminder of the need for ongoing vigilance, testing, and proper safety protocols.

Asbestos, once widely used in building materials for its durability and fire resistance, remains a serious health hazard when disturbed. Still found in countless buildings, exposure to airborne fibers is linked to diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

Each year, March 24th is recognized as World TB Day to raise awareness and to educate the public on how to prevent new cases. Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although the bacteria usually attack the lungs, TB bacteria have also been known to attack the kidney, spine, and brain. If not treated properly, TB disease can be fatal.

EMSL offers highly sensitive real-time PCR techniques to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis from air samples collected on special filter cassettes. To learn more about analysis, visit https://lnkd.in/eTq25cQS. Read our article on World TB Day: https://lnkd.in/e88d7NdR.

EMSL can accept water samples for analysis and quantification of select artificial sweeteners. To learn more, visit https://lnkd.in/eqEaSnNq.

Artificial sweeteners are used extensively in the making and production of food products and beverages. Sweeteners are not metabolized or altered by most biological processes, including the human digestive system. Artificial sweeteners are eliminated from the body typically in bodily waste. Wastewater treatment facilities are ineffective in removing or degrading sweeteners. Based on the stability and high aqueous solubility, sweeteners are a good tracer for wastewater.
