About EML
The Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML), a government-owned, government-operated
laboratory, is part of the Science and Technology (S&T;) Directorate of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). A descendant of the Manhattan Project, EML was established in
1947. The Laboratory advances and applies the science and technology required for
preventing, protecting against, and responding to radiological and nuclear events in the
service of Homeland and National Security.
EML’s current programs focus on issues associated with environmental radiation and
radioactivity. Specifically, EML provides DHS with environmental radiation and
radioactivity measurements in the laboratory or field, technology development and
evaluation, personnel training, instrument calibration, performance testing, data
management, and data quality assurance.
