Air quality has become an area for concern for different government agencies with emissions from processes being monitored more intently. Independent Laboratory has been performing stack emission analysis as part of annual environmental audits for various clients.
Under Health and Safety at work legislation, the onus is on the employer to provide a safe place and system of work. Many companies are now realizing that the condition of the air within their workplaces can have a detrimental effect on health. Some contaminants are easily recognizable by their distinct smell - for example paint or petrol. Others are odourless but none the less harmful. Checking the air for contamination should be carried out on a regular basis, at least once per year, or following changes in practices or operations that could affect the quality of the air workers breathe.
