Environmental simulation is used to determine a product's ability to perform during or after exposure to a specific environment. These tests are often used to prove a product's integrity, verify manufacturer's claims regarding operational limits, determine realistic warranty terms, and prepare procedures on proper and safe operation. Many components and products are general in use, as well as highly portable. Therefore, a variety of different environments may be encountered by an item in its expected lifetime. Simulations of high temperatures and high humidity's may be alternated with cold and dry atmospheres. A product may be exposed to oily, dusty conditions, or intense sunshine. Operation may be required in an explosive atmosphere or at high altitude, up to and including space station altitudes and conditions. Many other conditions or combinations can be created depending on the expected use of the product.

Environmental site assessment is a study used to determine if any hazardous substances are present on a property uses to determine the potential involvement of a project's earth-disturbing construction activities with documented environmental releases from adjacent properties. It is a standard tool for the protection of property investors, owners, and managers, from environmental liability.

Environmental stress cracking is the formation of cracks in a material caused by relatively low tensile stress and environmental conditions. It describes one of the most common causes of unexpected brittle failure of thermoplastic (especially amorphous) polymers known at present. It shows the exposure of polymers to liquid chemicals tends to accelerate the crazing process, initiating crazes at stresses that are much lower than the stress causing crazing in air. It is the premature initiation of cracking and embrittlement of a plastic due to the simultaneous action of stress and strain and contact with specific fluids that are present in a gaseous state. It provides the key to the problem of predictability, failure is due to a combination of influences.

Environmental tri-cell system is used for controlled atmosphere or liquid flow experiments due to its four-inlet/outlet purge ports, using an optional rubber gaiter sealed cover. Tri-cell incorporates an extremely flexible sample accommodation platform. It is designed to take as wide a range of sample configurations as possible.

EPA emission compliance testing is conducted to find out the entire range of air pollutants on boilers, furnaces, heaters, and many other types of equipment. The main features of this testing practice include real time measurement, on site data analysis and reporting, and simultaneous multisource monitoring.
