E. Coli has caused the deaths of two people in the UK, with over 100 more cases reported. The cause is likely to be unwashed salad leaves contaminated with the strain of E. Coli, but this is not confirmed.
This form of E. Coli (0157) can be found in several places as well as unwashed salads, such as animal faeces and guts. It is from here that they can contaminate food and water leading to outbreaks.

We are proud to announce that Envirochem has had another successful UKAS audit.
UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) is the accreditation body who checks that we are maintaining the high level of our sampling, analysis and reporting procedures.
We have maintained all of our current scope of accreditation which includes; the sampling and analysis of total inhalable and respirable dust, water analysis for anions (bromide, chloride, fluoride, nitrate and sulphate) and metals (arsenic, barium, cadmium, calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, mercury, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sodium, nickel, thallium, zinc. Also our Mcerts accreditation for anions (chloride and sulphate) and metals (arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, manganese, nickel and zinc) in soil is also maintained.
During the visit Envirochem also had two extensions to the scope of our accreditation assessed. – Lead and Chromium in Paint and Bacteriological testing of water for total viable count, legionella, e-coli, pseudomonas and total coliforms.
These extensions to scope were both successful upon the clearance of findings.
Envirochem is an organisation that strives to deliver the very best service to our clients, therefore having our UKAS accreditation reassures our clients that they are receiving results that are reliable and accurate.
