This section carries the short reports we routinely prepare arising from the analysis of samples by the Greenpeace Research Laboratories in support of projects carried out by Greenpeace’s many national and regional offices. They are published in the interest of transparency, and in order that all of the output from our analytical laboratories is in the public domain, whatever the results of those investigations. In most cases, analytical results files will be published here within 3 months of the results being delivered to Greenpeace’s offices, whether or not they have also been published by those offices. In some cases, publication on this site may be delayed beyond that in order to allow for publication locally in the first instance.
All files can be downloaded free of charge. Please contact us if you require any further information in addition to that which is included in the reports.
