Investigation

of specific air quality issues or concerns

 


 

Air Quality Assessment

Monitoring of Airborne Hazardous Substances

All hazardous substances must be assessed for risk to human health.

Monitoring of airborne substances is required where:

  1. there could be serious risk to health if control measures failed or deteriorated
  2. exposure limits may be exceeded
  3. control measures might not be working efficiently

 


 

Assessing the Level of Compliance

Using a combination of traditional analytical and real-time instrumental monitoring techniques, we are able to compare personal exposures with both long and short-term exposure limits as specified in HSE, ACGHIH, OSHA, NIOSH publications.

From this we can assess the level of compliance with COSHH. Our state of the art equipment allows us to measure:

total inhalable, thoracic and respirable dust


DEEE’s (diesel engine exhaust emissions)


lead or other heavy metals


respirable fibre


acid mists

combustion gases


explosive gases


organic vapours


bacterial loading (airborne microbes)

Our interpretive reports not only discuss the findings from monitoring and thorough site observations, but give full recommendations on remedial actions where required. Should we encounter any air quality issues on site, we are confident that we can offer a sensible and practical solution, every time.
