The Word "environment" is most commonly used to describe "natural" environment and means the sum of all living and non-living things that surround an organism, or group of organisms. Environment includes all elements, factors , and conditions that have some impact on growth and development of certain organism. Environment includes both biotic and abiotic factors that have influence on observed organism. Abiotic factors such as light, temperature, water, atmospheric gases combine with biotic factors (all surrounding living species). Environment often changes after some time and therefore many organisms have the ability to adapt to these changes. However, tolerance range is not the same with all species and exposure to environmental conditions at the limit of a certain organism's tolerance range represents environmental stress.

A clean and safe environment is a pre-requisite for health and quality of life. Arab Geotech for Soil Investigation Laboratories LLC contributes to this by providing market-leading laboratory testing and monitoring services to a wide range of industrial companies, environmental consultants, contractors, retailers and government authorities. Our laboratory services includes environmental testing and analysis in Chemistry. Our services comprise of testing of water, air, soil, waste and other products to assess their quality and impact on health and the environment.

Environmental testing is important to determine hazards within our environment that can be harmful to people. Large spills of hazardous substances can seep into soil and then possibly into groundwater which will affect our drinking water supply. Vapor encroachment can also occur and although we may not smell the hazardous substance, the vapors of volatile compounds could be lurking in low lying areas. When we have substances such as polychlorinated biphenyls that were once before commonly used in transformer fluids and hydraulic oils, these substances can have substantial effects on the environment and human health as the half life will exceed a human generation outside and inside the body. Testing is done to determine impact. Once impact is determined, remediation can begin to limit exposure to humans. Some examples of testing parameters include VOCs, semi-volatile organic compounds, PCBs, TPH, metals, TSS, asbestos, mold, lead based paint, and radon just to name a few.
