Hotel Description
The department Environmental Modeling Sensing and Analysis (EMSA) of TNO is an internationally recognized specialist in the study of substances that are harmful for human health and the environment. Our well-equipped laboratories enable us to determine the precise composition and amounts of harmful substances (e.g. dioxins, particulates, pesticides, PAHs and asbestos) in different compartments (e.g. air, water, biological material and consumer products). We develop new samping and analysis methods for studying complex questions about the effects of harmful substances on human health and the environment.
EMSA’s wide porfolio includes the following topics relevant to the life sciences:
– Development and assessment of sampling and analysis methods, including passive sampling
– Development and assessment of detection and identification methods for particulates / (ultra)fine particles and fibers (including microplastics, mineral fibers, nanoparticles) in different compartments (including air, water and biological material)
– Bio-monitoring
– Development and assessment of bio assays
