Environmental data are inclusive of the full spectrum
of historical, current and future data collected for
any site. This data has four main parts including:
geological, geographical, ecological and analytical.
Of these four parts, analytical is the most critical
(accounting for up to 80% of environmental data) since
it is in a constant state of measurement and change. The crisis today is
the inability to effectively manage and control the
volume of incoming data, as well as historical data.
By education and professional training Integrate, Inc.
staff are analytical and environmental service providers,
with the core of the staff coming out of the analytical
laboratory business. Initially the company assisted
clients in the planning of routine and complex analytical
laboratory testing programs, to ensure the results of
analyses accurately reflected what was being sampled.
This analytical planning and implementation evolved
into services including:
- Developing or verifying existing Data Quality Objectives
(DQOs) and Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs)
- Assisting laboratories in providing the appropriately
formatted electronic and hard copy deliverables
- Anticipating and resolving issues involved in the
analytical process
- Coordinating sample acquisition and field logistics
between the client, field personnel, and analytical
laboratory
- Providing the scientific expertise in data validation
to ensure that the data is defensible in the event
it is challenged
- Regulatory and/or method specific analytical consulting
