Workplace Exposure Monitoring

Indoor air quality can have a major influence on the health, comfort and well being of building occupants. Poor air quality has been linked to problems of sick building syndrome, where occupants experience a range of symptoms causing discomfort and a sense of being unwell rather than a specific illness, and has been shown to reduce productivity in offices.

Building where occupants experience discomfort and a sense of being unwell are typically offices which have mechanical ventilation or air conditioning plant.

We have extensive experience of assessing the key parameters which can determine indoor air quality and advising on appropriate remedial measures as required.

Workplace exposure monitoring can typically include the following;

• welding fume
• engineering works
• printworks
• waste facility dust and mists
• wood dust
• rubber fume
• isocyanates
• toxic metals
• flour and grain dust
• oil mists
• solvent vapours
• gases
