Learn when and why background concentrations are used, how defensible trigger levels are established, and how ESdat will support background-aware exceedance flagging.
ESdat is introducing support for site background concentrations so users can incorporate this context when calculating trigger levels and flagging exceedances.
Manage environmental monitoring data, compare results against regulatory standards, identify exceedances, and produce clear, defensible compliance reports with ESdat.
ESdat brings laboratory results, field observations, logger data, environmental standards, maps, graphs, and reports together in one browser-based system.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) has updated several groundwater screening levels used to evaluate the vapor intrusion pathway at contaminated sites. The revised values were released on February 7, 2025 and incorporated into NJDEP’s Vapor Intrusion Screening…
PFAS guidance in Australia has changed again, and environmental professionals need a clear view of what matters most with the PFAS NEMP 3.1 update. Key Takeaways 1. PFAS NEMP 3.1 is an update, not a complete rewrite The PFAS National…
Environmental consultants have a quiet data problem. A single site investigation report may contain borehole logs, groundwater results, soil tables, field notes, laboratory certificates, maps, figures, units, qualifiers, exceedances, and recommendations. Much of that information is trapped inside PDFs. It…
Environmental science has always depended on good fieldwork. But today, good fieldwork is only the beginning. A single environmental project can now produce soil results, groundwater data, field readings, laboratory reports, logger data, GIS layers, photographs, chain-of-custody records, regulatory standards,…
A practical guide for students, graduates, consultants, regulators, and environmental professionals Environmental Data Management Skills. Environmental scientists need more than field skills. They also need to understand how environmental data is planned, collected, checked, stored, interpreted, mapped, compared against standards,…

The video shows a typical environmental data workflow managed using environmental data management software, from field sampling through to reporting. Video Transcript for Environmental Data Workflows Environmental monitoring programs produce large volumes of data from field sampling, laboratory analysis, environmental…
Are you wondering what Essential Features of Environmental Compliance Software you need? Environmental compliance rarely fails because organisations don’t care. It fails because data is fragmented. A regulator calls. They want a groundwater trend report—this time using updated guideline values…
How to choose the best Environmental Data Management Software for Enterprises Table of contents Why “environmental data management” means different things in enterprises The decision lens: start with the field portal The top providers (and where they fit) Why ESdat…
A field portal is the bridge between environmental fieldwork and your Environmental Data Management System (EDMS). It’s the field-facing interface (usually mobile-friendly) where technicians and contractors capture observations, groundwater levels, field parameters, and photos, then sync everything to the central…
How do you choose the best environmental data management software for compliance reporting? Environmental compliance reporting is no longer just an operational task — it is a board-level risk function. Regulators expect defensible data, executives expect early visibility of risk,…
Geotechnical and environmental data describe the same piece of ground from two very different perspectives: one asks, “Can we build safely here?” while the other asks, “Is this place healthy for people and ecosystems?” For modern projects, both are needed…
