Item 6. Resignations of Registrant's Directors.
By letter dated January 10, 2000, received by the Registrant on
January 18, 2000, Sidney Pump resigned as a director of the Registrant. Mr.
Pump's letter of resignation states that his name was improperly affixed to
the Registrant's Form 10-KSB filed by the Registrant on December 28, 1999.
His letter also states that the two other members of the Registrant's Board of
Directors refused to appoint outside directors in accordance with Securities
and Exchange Commission rules and that such directors should constitute a
majority of the Board.
Mr. Pump's signature was inadvertently included as a signatory on the
Form 10-KSB as originally filed. Upon receipt of notice by Mr. Pump that he had
not executed Form 10-KSB, the Registrant immediately filed an amended Form
10-KSB removing Mr. Pump as a signatory.
The Registrant does not believe that it is subject to any Securities
and Exchange Commission rule or regulation requiring the election of an
"outside" director to the Registrant's Board of Directors.
Exhibits
17.1 Letter of Resignation of Sidney Pump dated January 10, 2000.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

The Board of Directors
Environmental Monitoring & Testing Corporation
825 Main Street South
P.O. Box 760
New Ellenton, SC 29809
Dear Sirs:
I hereby tender my resignation as a Director and Secretary of the Corporation
effective this date with cause. You, the other two Board members, Vincent A.
Ferri and Martin L. Jacoby, separately or in concert, without my oral or
written permission to do so, affixed my name on the Corporate 10KSB that was
filed with the United States Securities Exchange Commission, December 28, 1999.
Further, I have not affixed my signature to any Board of Directors meeting
except for a certain meeting on November 3, 1999, wherein I was appointed
Secretary of the Corporation. All other meetings, if any, were called and held
without notice to me and in contravention of the By-laws of the corporation.
Further, another reason for my resignation is that you, the other two board
members, willfully refused to immediately appoint independent directors to the
Board of Environmental Monitoring & Testing Corporation. That according to
Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations the Board of Directors
should include outside directors and in fact they should constitute a majority
of the Board.
I trust that the Board is aware that my resignation shall need to be filed with
the Securities Exchange Commission immediately.
Respectfully,
/s/ Sidney Pump
Sidney Pump
