The Facility was established
within ASU's College of Science & Mathematics and is associated with
the Environmental Sciences Program to offer multidimensional graduate and
undergraduate research. Interdisciplinary projects are highly encouraged
between researchers from departments of Biological Sciences, Agriculture,
Chemistry & Physics, Engineering, Mathematics & Statistics, Sociology,
Policy, and Economics.
Services incorporated
into the Facility include biomonitoring of effluents in support of discharge
requirements in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits.
The laboratory has maintained annual certification through the Arkansas

Environmental Protection Agency since 1996. The facility performs chronic
and acute Whole Effluent Testing for municipalities and industries and results are
provided with report formatting for all Discharge Monitoring Reports. Quality
Assurance, Quality Control, and internal reviews are incorporated within
our research as a component of Good Laboratory Practice at our facility.
Ecotoxicological research
within the Environmental Sciences Program has
to date been conducted with investigators specializing in various areas.
