The Regional Laboratory Network applies scientific principles to support regulatory programs, monitoring programs, and special projects. The 10 Regional laboratories:
  • integrate lab activities with field monitoring and quality assurance activities to develop a comprehensive approach to environmental programs, and 
  • provide a full range of routine and specialized chemical and biological testing of air, water, soil, sediment, tissue, and hazardous wastes to support agency decisions and goals.
EPA's LSASDs are key to the agency meeting its mission through performing analytical and other work that:
  • practices sound science,
  • implements the principles of environmental protection, and
  • promotes partnerships with states, tribal nations, and local governments.
Applied science technologies and practices support the agency's programs.  The Regional Lab Network, Field Operations, and Quality Assurance programs also provide technical assistance and expertise within the agency and with external partners.
 

Individual Regional labs have specific capabilities and expertise due to unique geographic issues and needs.
