AMBIENT AIR MONITORING

Open-air, in which humans and other organisms live and breathe, is defined as ‘Ambient Air’. Its content and quality are directly affected by the day-to-day activities of humans, industry, and so on. In turn, ambient air quality has a direct effect on both public health and the welfare of the ecosystems. Ambient Air Monitoring is the systematic, long-term assessment of pollutant levels by measuring the quantity and types of certain pollutants in the surrounding, outdoor air.

Air quality monitoring is carried out to assess the extent of pollution, ensure compliance with national legislation, evaluate control options, and provide data for air quality modeling. The locations for monitoring stations depend on the purpose of the monitoring.

Most monitoring networks are designed with human health objectives in mind, therefore monitoring stations are established in population centres. The measurement of both type and quantity of these contaminants is an important part of obtaining the data needed to implement a meaningful control program. Therefore, the quality of the Ambient Air needs to be monitored on regular basis. As per the new regulation, proposed by CPCB, all the 12 mandatory parameters are analyzed by the Environment Division of EFRAC.

At EFRAC, we are compatible with LIMS for enabling digitized integration of the data and for maintaining the confidentiality of the data. Above all we have trained QA and CRM team to address various questions regarding guidelines, methods, and standards applicable for various matrices.]

Most monitoring networks are designed with human health objectives in mind leading to monitoring stations being located within populated settlements. Data on Contaminant type and quantity are required not only to cater to Environmental Regulations but also to impose meaningful controls & design ambient air improvement programs.  This requires Ambient Air quality to be monitored on a regular basis and involves analysis of 12 parameters made mandatory by CPCB.   EFRACs Environment Division, by dint of its expertise & experience, provides the entire gamut of Services within the Environment domain.

LIMS in EFRAC facilitates digitized Data integration & Data confidentiality. The qualified, trained & experienced QA and CRM Team at EFRAC promptly clarify and address client concerns if any, with respect to guidelines, methods, and standards applicable for various matrices.]
