Environmental Response Laboratory Network (ERLN) Application Packet

The purpose of the Environmental Response Laboratory Network (ERLN) is to provide reliable, high quality analytical data to Federal, State, and local decision-makers to identify:

  • toxic industrial chemicals (TICs),
  • chemical,
  • biological, and
  • radiological contaminants in environmental samples collected in support of response and remediation activities.

The application collects information associated with your laboratory's interest in and attributes for participation in the ERLN program, including the Water Laboratory Alliance, as appropriate.
