Environmental Measurement and Analysis Laboratory

Wastewater analyses are instantaneous or periodic analytical studies carried out to ensure that water used, generated, or discharged in any area does not harm living organisms or the environment. It is essential to determine the compliance of domestic and industrial wastewater discharged into wastewater infrastructure facilities or receiving environments with the relevant regulations. The Ministry is authorized for the inspection of any wastewater discharge into receiving environments in accordance with the Environmental Law and the Law on the Organization and Duties of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization.

Organizations subject to the Environmental Permit and License Regulation must have their domestic/industrial wastewater analyses performed by laboratories accredited by TÜRKAK and authorized by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, in accordance with the Water Pollution Control Regulation. Sectors that contain hazardous substances in their wastewater must comply with the Regulation on the Control of Pollution Caused by Hazardous Substances in Water and Its Environment, and all other wastewater-generating facilities must comply with the notices, decrees, and regulations issued by the Ministry regarding wastewater discharge.
