The Interstate Environmental Commission’s laboratory is recognized by its member states as a nationally accredited environmental laboratory. Certification on a national level can be granted by state accrediting authorities only to those laboratories which have been found to be compliant with the standards approved by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP).

One of the IEC’s strongest assets is the capability of its laboratory to undertake research projects in a wide range of topics—both on its own and in collaboration with other organizations.

The IEC team has the expertise and experience to undertake any challenging task in order to benefit the environment and citizens throughout the tri-state region. Staff continually present material at prestigious environmental forums and have research papers and articles published. Our current projects involve monitoring, sampling, various laboratory analyses for both water and soil, data compilation and presentation, coordination with many organizations, and more.
