Today we’re shining the spotlight on Kelsey, Radiochemistry Lead Lab Tech at SRC Environmental Analytical Laboratories.

Part of Kelsey’s teams’ job in the lab is to test for radionuclides, including radon, in samples. One thing she wishes the public knew is that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer; which is why the radon testing carried out in her lab is so important. Knowing your radon level can save the lives of those you love.

She recently conducted a radon test in her own home and found that she had levels above the Health Canada Guidelines. Armed with that knowledge, she had her home mitigated. That’s just another reason why she’s so passionate about educating the public and encouraging everyone to test their radon levels in their homes.

Autumn and winter are the ideal time to test for radon in your home, we encourage you to order your test today ➡️ https://www.homeradontest.ca/

SRC’s Project CLEANS (Cleanup of Abandoned Northern Sites) team recently welcomed 10 Junior Canadian Rangers from Fond du Lac to the Gunnar Mine and Mill Site for a hands-on day of learning about environmental monitoring and mine site reclamation.

During the visit, participants explored key areas of the site, learned about ongoing
remediation work and gained exposure to environmental careers and field monitoring Techniques.

The visit was also an opportunity to advance SRC’s commitment to reconciliation through its Indigenous Action Plan, by sharing knowledge, building meaningful relationships and engaging with Indigenous and northern communities in Saskatchewan.

The Junior Canadian Rangers program provides youth in remote and northern Canadian communities with opportunities to build leadership skills, life skills and community connections through hands-on learning and activities.

Two homes on the same street can have very different radon levels. Foundations, construction, airflow and how a home is used all affect the result. A map can show regional patterns, but only a test can give you your home’s level.

PFAS can persist in the environment for a long time. Knowing what's in your water starts with reliable testing.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of synthetic chemicals that have been used in products ranging from water-repellent materials to firefighting foams. Their durability also means they can remain in the environment over time and may be present in water sources.

With updated Health Canada guidance for PFAS in drinking water, understanding and monitoring these substances is becoming increasingly important.

SRC Environmental Analytical Laboratories now offers PFAS testing for drinking water, helping municipalities, industry and other organizations better understand their water quality.

Get the data you need to make informed water quality decisions.
