Leeder Analytical provides environmental forensic investigation services to identify petroleum and hazardous contaminants, determine their sources and time of release. They use analytical procedures and scientific principles from organic geochemistry and hydrogeology to characterize chemical spills, differentiate contamination types, determine sources of complex mixtures, and correlate spills to potential sources. Leeder Analytical also offers independent interpretation of analytical results and consulting chemistry services to help clients resolve chemical issues, improve quality, and reduce liability.

Environmental
Forensic
Investigations
Environmental forensic investigation
is the use of scientific methodology devel-
oped for identifying petroleum-related
and other potentially hazardous environ-
mental contaminants and for determining
their sources and time of release. It com-
bines analytical procedures with scientific
principles derived from the disciplines of
organic geochemistry and hydrogeology.
Main applications are:
 Characterising chemical spills
– including petroleum, chlorinated
compounds
 Differentiating petroleum contamina-
tion from naturally occurring hydrocar-
bons
 Determining sources of complex
hydrocarbon mixtures
 Correlation of chemical spills to
potential sources
 Timing and ageing of spills
 Assessment of PAHs sources - coal
tar vs petroleum
 Degree of weathering/biodegradation
Interpretation
of results
Leeder Analytical provides indepen-
dent interpretation of analytical results
to determine accuracy and precision.
Unexpected results also often require a
person experienced in laboratory analysis
to explain and investigate. Leeder Ana-
lytical provides independent review and
data consulting of analytical data.
