DescriptionThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), Office of Emergency Management (OEM), has a requirement to maintain and operate three diversely located Portable High-Throughput Integrated Laboratory Identification Systems (PHILIS) units. The PHILIS units, each consisting of two to three separate mobile vehicles, are designed to detect Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs). These units provide on-site mobile laboratory capabilities to support the EPA?s Environmental Response Laboratory Network (ERLN), to respond to chemical warfare agent attacks, and to provide analytical support to any supplemental locations that are deemed fundamental to accomplishing EPA?s mission.

In addition, the PHILIS units may: Participate in EPA and interagency exercises Participate in activities in foreign countries Deploy to Superfund sites to perform environmental analyses at the request of EPA Regional Offices Function at their bases of operations or at sites of interest to EPA to analyze routine and non-routine analytical samples Support method development and method validation efforts Support EPA?s training efforts for the Laboratory Response Corps.
