Comprehensive Air Quality Services
From residential testing to industrial monitoring, we provide scientifically-backed air quality assessment services tailored to your specific needs and budget.
Air Quality Testing & Monitoring
The age we live in brings many advantages and convenient lifestyles, but is often fraught with so many chemical hazards from all the various products, waste and industrial contaminants that are encountered in day-to-day living. For some of us, this has consequences on our quality of life.
- Find out what chemicals are in the air around you, at home or at work
- Evaluate risk- are there any substances that exist at levels which can cause harm? Knowledge is power. If you can identify the problem, only then can you do something about it!
- Many allergies and health issues result from inappropriate exposure to contaminants
- Indoor air can often be of a poorer quality than outdoor air
- Vulnerable persons, i.e., the elderly, young children, and patients with cancer or cardiovascular conditions, are more susceptible to poor air quality.
- Heat stress these days is real!
Pollution Impact Assessments
Almost everywhere we look, there is some source of pollution: Sahara dust and haze, traffic emissions on jammed roadways, black smoke from the local scrap metal yard, bushfires, industrial emissions and dust. Where does this pollution go?
Does it disappear with the wind, where exactly is it coming from, and does any of it pose a risk to us? What measures can be taken to manage, reduce or eliminate potential or actualized risk?
- Model air pollution dispersion using regulatory models (USEPA’s AERMOD)
- Identify the chemicals in the pollution mix to link possible sources
- Identify leaks for storage facilities, etc.
- Trace residues for organic and inorganic chemicals
- Identify any risks from inappropriate exposure using international/local OSH and health guidelines
Regulatory Compliance and Carbon / Emissions Accounting
The responsible move, and the smarter business advantage, is to move towards a carbon-neutral status for products and services, particularly those destined for the international/ export market. We provide Carbon Accounting Services that are tailored in approach and methodology for the provision of carbon footprints of goods and services, and emissions quantification for projects, climate impact mitigatory interventions and corporate emissions portfolio. Let us help you help the planet!
- Carbon Accounting methods consistent with the GHG Protocol Scopes 1,2 and 3.
- Compliance towards conformation within ISO 14064 standards.
- Transparent, reliable, reportable data with referenceable emission factors.
Air Quality Modelling & Data Analysis
Identification of air pollutants, greenhouse gases and air toxics is what we do! We can calculate where those pollutants go, possible sinks, likely sources/reservoirs and whether those pollutants are likely to cause harm.
- Air pollution modelling and dispersion
- Carbon accounting of emissions, generation of carbon footprint or carbon equivalent (CO2e) emission calculation
- Identification AND quantification of hundreds of airborne contaminants
- Client confidentiality and secure storage of data for 3 years or more
Industrial & Occupational Air Monitoring
Inadvertent occupational exposure is a hazard in many work places. Our technology can be used to identify unknown contaminants and aid employers in providing a safe and secure working environment for their employees.
- Indoor air quality assessment
- Outdoor/ambient air quality assessment
- Chemical storage leaks
- Verification of dispersion patterns for point source emitters
- Fenceline profiling of air quality
GHG Emissions (Identification/Quantification of emissions)
There is a rapid global shift in the Earth’s climate that is currently attributed to the upset of the planet’s heat balance. The atmosphere is holding on to more heat than it usually does, warming the oceans (hence the higher frequency of hurricanes), increasing the maximum temperatures outside, decreasing the annual rainfall, increasing episodes of extreme weather (resulting in floods and drought), changing fish migration patterns, messing with agriculture and the reliability of the growing season, and further away- melting the frozen ice caps. Climate change mitigation and adaptive measures require everyone to take up the mantle, take responsibility and take action.

- Identification AND quantification of hundreds of airborne contaminants
- Client confidentiality and secure storage of data for 3 years or more

Design and implement pollution monitoring and risk assessment at workplaces, areas with vulnerable populations, and homes via fit-to-purpose testing
Environmental Measurement, inappropriate exposure and environment/ public health impacts
Collaborate with schools, NGOs, and the government for sustainable action. Join us as we track the air we breathe — and work to protect it.
How is your technology different from a regular air quality monitor?
We use state-of-the-art technology to identify and measure air contaminants. There are very few options for identifying unknown gaseous contaminants and getting data immediately, without using a lab and waiting days or weeks for the results.
Who can benefit from your services?
Anyone and everyone, we all need to breathe air to live, and the cleaner the better! However, vulnerable groups are
- Young persons inhale more air (and therefore more contaminants) than an adult because of their larger lung volume to body size ratio
- Older persons generally, they are more susceptible due to a weaker immune system and compounding co-morbidities
- People with asthma, cardiovascular disease and respiratory issues
Are your services affordable for small businesses or households?
Services and costs are tailored for the client and the scale of the job. A site visit, or evaluation, may sometimes be necessary for costing larger/industrial/corporate jobs. Households can usually get much lower prices, particularly where children and the elderly are involved.
Do you provide reports or recommendations after testing?
Every job report comes with recommendations after testing- unless the client specifically requests that this NOT be included in the report.
