WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY?

Environmental microbiology focuses on the study of microorganisms, such as
bacteria, molds, and other fungi, present in the environment and their
implications for public health. Pace® environmental microbiologists provide
testing services for many types of projects such as bioremediation, water
quality, public health, occupational health, patient safety, and infectious
disease control.

PHARMACEUTICALS

Pace® offers microbiology solutions for both pharmaceutical manufacturing and
pharmacies involved in preparing CSPs (compounded sterile preparations).

HEALTHCARE

Pace® environmental microbiology services help hospitals, physician’s practices,
and other healthcare providers limit risk and keep their patients safe.

MANUFACTURING

Pace® helps manufacturers in industries such as food & beverage,
pharmaceuticals, biotech, electronics and more reduce the risk of
microbiological contamination and comply with regulations.

HOSPITALITY

Pace® helps hotels, cruise ships, restaurants, and other businesses in the
hospitality industry reduce risk and keep their customers safe.

DATA CENTERS

The warm, stagnant water in data center cooling towers can become a breeding
ground for bacteria such as Legionella. Pace® helps data center operators ensure
a safe working environment for their employees.

LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Wastewater surveillance can alert community leaders and healthcare officials to
the presence of highly communicable diseases such as COVID-19, Monkey Pox, RSV,
and Influenza A and B even before those infected exhibit symptoms.

AIR

Indoor air quality can be significantly impacted by microbiological pollutants
such as molds, bacteria, and various other biological contaminants. These
pollutants can not only cause health issues but may also impact overall comfort
and wellbeing.

WATER

Microbiological pollutants, such as Legionella, Pseudomonas, Mycobacteria, and
other waterborne pathogens, can compromise water quality and pose significant
threats to human health.

SOIL

Contaminants such as fecal coliform in soil can indicate the presence of harmful
pathogens, including certain strains of Escherichia coli, Salmonella,
Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and various enteric viruses. Direct contact with
contaminated soil or consumption of produce grown in such soil can lead to
disease.

BIOTA

Biological contaminants in biota, plant, and animal tissues, can pose serious
health risks for humans. For example, consumption of contaminated fish can
increase the risk of illness, particularly for immunocompromised individuals,
children, and the elderly.

SURFACES

Microbiological pollutants, including bacteria, fungi, and molds, are all around
us. While most are harmless, some can severely impact human health and the
safety of consumer goods such as food and pharmaceuticals.

WASTEWATER

When a virus infects an individual, that person can shed fragments of the virus
in their waste even if they remain asymptomatic. Analyzing wastewater samples
for these viral fragments can help officials monitor infection rate trends and
prepare for a potential outbreak.


ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY TESTING SERVICES

Pace® provides a variety of testing services to help our customers keep the
public, employees, and their customers safe. Here are some of the most common
