The MSU Exposure Science Laboratory incorporates measurement and analytical tools in order to identify the sources of physical, chemical, and biological hazards and their potential exposure and mitigation pathways in ecological, occupational, community, and personal settings.  We work with investigators in academia (e.g. University of Michigan, University of New Mexico) and government (e.g. Environmental Protection Agency) in diverse disciplines including medicine, engineering, and toxicology and provide sampling and analysis capabilities and expert consultation services.

The facility includes Class 100 clean rooms housing an array of analytical instruments (e.g. high-resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, direct mercury analyzer) and is equipped to analyze clinical (e.g. blood spot), biological and environmental samples for a full spectrum of elements, with emphasis on metals and metalloids in ultratrace concentrations.

 

Our Research Study Is Seeking Participants!
