The CXC is an state of the art facility specializing in Environmental Sampling. The core offers passive sampling devices (PSDs) including low density polyethylene (LDPE) for stationary monitors as well as silicone wristbands/dog-tags for personal exposure monitoring. The core also offers analytical services for sample PSD extracts, enabling EHS CC members to measure concentrations of environmental toxins in personal exposures, air, water, sediments, and soils.
