We use liquid or gas chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry, that is LC- or GC- MS/MS, when doing chemical analyses ourselves. These methods may be used for analysing man-made pollutants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, pesticides, PCB and halogenated flame retardants. But even compounds like carnitine, fatty acids and other natural compounds may be analysed on such instruments.

When we commission others to perform the chemical analyses, we use laboratories that we know have expertise and experience for the job, whether here in the Faroe Islands or in neighbouring countries.

Large network in governmental agencies as well as science and research institutes the Faroe Islands and abroad, especially in the Nordic countries.

Has worked in public and private laboratories in the Faroe Islands. Has studied biology at Bachelor of Science level at the University of the Faroe Islands. Experience with field work and analyses of environmental pollutants.
