Industrial Impact Assessment

It is essential to quantify the environmental impact of new and existing industrial processes to show compliance with UK and EC legislation. A survey from NPL can monitor and assess the impact of industrial plant on surrounding areas, including:

  • Quantification of boundary fence emissions
  • Identification of fugitive emissions to air
  • Measurement of ambient air quality
  • Evaluation of indoor air quality
  • Odour investigations

Examples of species routinely measured are:

Species Methods
Acid gases and odorous species SO2, NO2, H2S and NO Diffusive tubes
Pumped tubes
Canister/grab sampling
Hand held monitors
Mobile laboratory
Particulates (PM10)
Light hydrocarbons and combustion products
Benzene, toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene
1,3-butadiene
Other species on request
