The Environmental Service Program's Chemical Analysis Section staffs the only state environmental laboratory. CAS, the state's primary laboratory for drinking water chemistry and environmental chemistry, provides analytical support for programs throughout the department and for other state agencies.
Through analysis, CAS staff identify and confirm the presence of natural and man-made pollutants. CAS performs about 125,000 total analyses annually including 100,000 analyses on samples of drinking water from public water supplies throughout the state.
Samples Our measurements impact the public on a daily basis. Our day-to-day work may include analysis of the following:

| HIGH QUALITY ANALYTICAL RESULTS |
CAS provides analysis of soil, water, sludge and air samples to help protect Missouri's residents and natural resources. Through analysis, CAS staff identify and confirm the presence of natural and man-made pollutants. These pollutants may consist of volatile organic compounds such as petroleum products, biological contaminants found in wastewater discharges, heavy metals including lead and mercury or synthetic organic compounds consisting of pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
