| Semi-volatile Pollutants Analysis by GC/MS |
 |
| There are no clear-cut definitions to distinguish semi-volatile from volatile organic compounds. However, dichlorobenzenes and trichlorobenzenes are being considered as volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, respectively. Naphthalene is considered as high end of volatile compound and
low end of semi-volatile compounds. SwRI has over 35 years of experience in analyzing semi-volatile organic pollutants in the following chemical categories: pesticides, PCBs, chlorinated and brominated
dioxins/dibenzofurans, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitro-PAHs, and industrial chemicals. Almost any semi-volatile organic pollutants in any matrix can be analyzed by SwRI. |

 |
| The Mechanical Sciences Section maintains a variety of shaker
tables to provide a broad capability to many industries and government.
Shaker tables include servo-hydraulic tables providing lower frequency, high
displacements to electromagnetic shakers which provide much higher frequency
control and accelerations. Both single axis and multiaxis tables produce
vibration and shock simulations. Earthquake simulation, transportation
simulation, enviromental testing, and others can be produced with the
variety of shaker tables. |
