It is a common misconception that asbestos is no longer a problem in the U.S. Many of the construction materials used in the U.S. are manufactured overseas, where the production laws and regulations are much more relaxed. When materials containing asbestos are damaged or broken down, asbestos releases tiny fibers in the air that are too small to see, feel, or taste.  LA Testing is an Industry Leader in Asbestos Testing. To learn more about LA Testing’s Asbestos Division, visit https://lnkd.in/e2qKwSHM.

Staphylococcus aureus is also referred to as Coagulase Positive Staphylococcus. Foods that are frequently incriminated in staphylococcal food poisoning include meat and meat products; poultry and egg products; salads such as egg, tuna, chicken, potato, and macaroni; bakery products such as cream-filled pastries, cream pies, and chocolate éclairs; sandwich fillings; and milk and dairy products.     Staphylococci can exist in air, dust, sewage, water, milk, and food and on food equipment, environmental surfaces, humans, and animals. Humans and animals are the primary reservoirs. Although food handlers are usually the main source of food contamination in food poisoning outbreaks, equipment and environmental surfaces can also be sources of contamination with S. aureus. Human intoxication is caused by ingesting enterotoxins produced in food by some strains of S. aureus, usually because the food has not been kept hot enough (60°C, 140°F, or above) or cold enough (7.2°C, 45°F, or below).    To assist with identifying Staphylococcus aureus, LA Testing provides analysis of food and surface samples.

Microplastics are defined as solid polymeric materials that are less than 5 millimeters in size. There are two categories of microplastics: primary and secondary.      Primary microplastics consist of manufactured raw plastic material, such as plastic pellets for manufacturing parts and micro-beads used as cleaning agents. Secondary microplastics originate from larger plastic products or macro plastic fragments broken down by mechanical, UV radiation, or chemical means.       Exposure to microplastics is emerging as a potential threat to the ecosystems due to their potential adverse effects on humans and the environment.     LA Testing and EMSL’s Materials Science Division provides Microplastics Testing.
