Background
The Environmental Laboratory was established in 2002 by University of Miyazaki, and the AAN, Japan to provide analytical facility for supporting arsenic mitigation activities, water supply related research and other environmental oriented projects. It also provide support to other organizations, institutes and NGOs. In 2009-10 funding was obtained from the AAN, Japan to construct and equip the lab at Arsenic Center. Environmental Laboratory was provided 1500 square feet space at Arsenic Center. Renovation and equipment money totaling 10,870$ were invested to build the lab, which was officially opened in April of 2010.
