Have you ever wondered how the water quality of your favorite bathing lake is determined or whether our drinking water is free of pollutants? In your training as a Chemical Laboratory Technician EFZ, you will find out!

You collect and examine environmental samples of waters in the canton of Zurich in the laboratory.
