Purpose
Air quality is affected by airborne gaseous compounds and particles and poor air quality may cause adverse health effects. We offer workplace assessments of chemical hazards through sampling of volatile compounds and dust for evaluation and comparison with occupational exposure limits, (OELs) or DNELs (sv hygieniska gränsvärden).
Measurement of air quality in workplace settings may offer valuable information for a company´s future work with occupational health and safety including choice of safety equipment and solutions for ventilation to minimize exposure.
Method
Among species that we can measure by sampling/analysis or using direct reading instruments; VOC (e.g. organic solvents), PAH, acids, ozone, isocyanates, quartz and other dust, oil mist/cutting fluid, allergens etc. Most analysis are made in-house, which is very valuable.
