ANSTO's research capabilities, led by the OPAL nuclear research reactor and associated instruments provide access to users investigating areas as diverse as materials, life sciences, climate change and mining/engineering.
Capabilities of ANSTO's Environmental Research Institute
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) |  |
Ion Beam Analysis (IBA)
Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) is used to determine what elements are present in biological, geological and man-made materials. Discover More. |  |
Aerosol fine particle sampling and characterisation
The Aerosol Sampling Program (ASP) has been running for almost 20 years. Aerosol samples are routinely collected in a number of Australian sites. Discover More. |  |
Analytical chemistry
The analytical chemistry team sits within ANSTO's Institute for the Environment (IER) and supports various studies such as trace metal analysis in aquatic environments. Discover More. |  |
Atmospheric radioactivity
The Atmospheric Radioactivity team undertakes measurement, prediction and evaluation of radon, thoron and their progeny in industry and the natural environment. Discover More. |  |
Radiochemistry
The IER radioanalytical laboratories perform low and medium level radioactivity measurements and tritium analysis. Discover More.
