Sept. 28, 2018 -- Peter Ma, a SHL laboratory technician, passed away on Sept. 16 at the age of 63 in his Iowa City home following an extended illness. Ma served the state of Iowa and SHL for more than 23 years as a staff member in the Environmental Health Division.

“I am so thankful to have worked closely with Peter during his time at the SHL,” said Terry Cain, environmental lab supervisor, and Ma’s supervisor. “He was a man of great gratitude and dedication. May he rest in peace.”

As part of SHL’s Organic Chemistry team, Ma performed complex analytical procedures. He had extensive expertise in sample preparation techniques and worked with sophisticated laboratory instruments to protect Iowa's drinking water supply and make it possible for SHL to develop new tests for many applications.
