Project Experience: Asbestos in Crayons

EMSL Analytical, Inc. has worked with consumers and advocacy groups on detection of asbestos in crayons. The asbestos present in some crayons are believed to come from contaminated talc deposits. With the pressure of the potential liability of asbestos exposure, more consumers and manufacturers are using EMSL Analytical’s analytical expertise to ensure the reliability and defensibility of their data. Our client’s recognize EMSL’s diverse instrumentation and depth of experience which allows them to ship samples to one location and have a variety of tests completed within EMSL’s Corporate Headquarters. The samples are seamlessly transferred through different advanced analytical techniques – including XRD, PLM, SEM and TEM.
