The MERS research group includes the Environmental Radioactivity Research Group Laboratory (GRAB) of the UAB, the Service of Inorganic Geochemistry for Paleoclimatology and Paleoceanography of the UAB (SIGPO), and the Microplastics Extraction Laboratory (MEL) of the ICTA-UAB. Within our three laboratories, we offer a wide range of services:

  • Radon in water

    Laboratory and in situ measurements of Radon

  • Dating by Pb-210 technique

    Accurate Environmental Dating and Age Model Determination.

  • Extraction of microplastics

    A state-of-the-art laboratory for precise extraction of microplastics from diverse environmental matrices

  • NORM

    Radioactivity content analysis

  • SIGPO
