Get Fast POPs Testing Results in the Field

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are a group of toxic chemicals that don’t break down easily in the environment and can pose long-term risks to human health and ecosystems.

Detecting them quickly is critical for safe site management, which means fast, reliable scanners are key.

Our advanced Vanta POPs Analyser, a state-of-the-art handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) device achieves lab-quality analysis in the field – delivering accurate data in seconds, so there’s no waiting around for lab results.

POPs Testing in Accordance with WM3

WM3 is the UK’s standard for identifying and categorising hazardous waste. Under WM3 guidance, certain materials containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (such as flame-retardant plastics, electrical components, and contaminated soils) must be tested, classified and managed correctly to prevent environmental harm.

Our Vanta POPs Analyser allows for rapid, on-site screening to determine whether waste or soil contains POPs above regulatory thresholds. This ensures your project meets WM3 requirements for:
