Ambient Air Pollutant Testing

Ambient Air Pollutant Testing

Ambient Air Pollutant Testing

The testing of ambient air pollutants is a critical component in environmental monitoring and compliance. Ambient air pollutants refer to chemicals or particulates that are present in the atmosphere, often as a result of industrial activities, vehicular emissions, and other human-made processes. This testing is essential for understanding the impact of these pollutants on public health and the environment.

One key pollutant tested is particulate matter (PM), which includes particles ranging from 10 microns in diameter. PM2.5, or fine particulate matter, is particularly concerning due to its ability to penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a guideline value of 12 μg/m³ for annual average PM2.5 levels.

Another major pollutant tested is nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), which can irritate the airways, worsen asthma symptoms, and increase susceptibility to respiratory infections. The European Union's Air Quality Standards set an hourly limit of 200 μg/m³ for NO₂.

The testing process involves collecting samples over a specified period using specialized equipment such as samplers and analyzers that adhere to international standards like ISO 16044-3:2017. Specimen preparation includes filtering the collected air through pre-calibrated filters, followed by analysis in our state-of-the-art laboratory.

Our testing services ensure high accuracy and reliability, providing data that is crucial for regulatory compliance and scientific research. Results are reported with full traceability to national standards, ensuring confidence in the integrity of your data.
