The Radiochemical Analytical Laboratory (LARCHA) at the Department of Nuclear Chemistry, Comenius University was established to monitor environmental conditions in the country. Implementation of the ISO 17025:2005 standard is a very important step for the development of research work and accreditation of university laboratories is appreciated by the nuclear power plants (NPP) and other nuclear facilities, local governmental authorities and international agencies. The techniques used for the determination and separation of alpha and beta emitters in environmental soils, sediments, water, etc. are discussed in this paper.
