The Centre for Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences works in three locations across the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Our Main Offices are located at Birzeit University where we have our adminstrative offices and main laboratories covering an area of 800 square metres. Instrumentation includes: a GC/MS, simultaneous ICP-OES, two gas chromatographs equipped with a variety of detectors; two HPLCs (high pressure liquid chromatographs) equipped with UV/Vis detectors, fluorescence detectors and a diode array detector; TLC (thin layer chromatographic) equipment with a UV/Vis scanning densitometer; Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Infra-Red and UV/Vis Spectrophotometers with scanning capabilities; tablet and capsules testing equipment including dissolution and disintegration testers; a fully equipped microbiology facility; and many other supporting instruments. For field work we have a portable spectrophotometer, water testing equipment and kits, noise testing equipment and an audiometer. CEOHS also owns a mini-bus and a jeep which is essential for transporting personnel and equipment in the field.

We also have offices in Gaza City where our waste and waste-water laboratories are located.
