About the Environmental Engineering Laboratory
The CEPT Environmental Engineering Laboratory was established in the year 2015 and upgraded in the year 2016 – 17. The built and ambient environment need to be monitored for pollutant levels as they impact human health. The laboratory is equipped with equipment to analyze water, wastewater and air pollution parameters. The type of tests, which can be performed in water, wastewater, ambient air and stack monitoring is listed below.
