"It is hard to find anyplace in the world where the water
does not show the effect of human agencies."
~Ellen Swallow
Ecologist, 1893
The first edition of Standard Methods was published in 1905 by a committee
of members of the American Public Health Association in an effort to
secure more uniform and efficient methods of water analysis. Almost
100 years and 20 editions later, Standard Methods, the definitive word on
the
examination of water and wastewater, are followed in Ake Laboratory's full
service environmental lab. Our analysts, certified by the Water Environment
Federation, offer a wide range of services and customized reporting for
businesses, industry, environmental engineering firms, water and wastewater
treatment facilities and federal, state and local agencies.
