Why Asbestos Air Monitoring Matters

When materials housing asbestos break down or deteriorate, fibres can can become airborne, entering the air you breathe. Here’s where our NATA Accredited MPL laboratory can assist – experts in analysis for asbestos presence across soil, water, and air.

Our laboratory testing capabilities include

• Airborne Fibres
• Water Samples
• Building Materials
• Soil

With our NATA Accredited laboratories, you can breathe easy. Contact our team to discuss your asbestos testing needs.

Bacteria, Fungi & Micro-organisms

Life at the microscopic level can hold surprising sway over our living spaces. From homes to industries, the presence of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in indoor air can affect our well-being.

Hidden Hazards: Bacteria and Fungi in Indoor Air

Often unnoticed yet significant, bacteria and fungi can create a complex environment indoors, potentially leading to health issues. Regular monitoring of air quality is crucial, particularly in places like hospitals, where maintaining a sterile environment is essential.

Identifying the Sources: What Sparks Microorganisms

Microbe breeding grounds arise from issues like water leaks, high humidity, and inadequate ventilation. Keep an eye on HVAC systems—neglected cooling coils and humidifiers can become ideal environments for bacterial growth.

Our services cover:

• Airborne Bacteria & Fungi
• Surface Bacteria & Fungi

Dust

Dust, often overlooked, can significantly impact the environment. While some dust is natural, excessive amounts from industries and mechanical activities can affect the air we breathe.

The Many Facets of Dust: From Nature to Industry

While natural dust is a part of our planet's rhythm, industries like mining and construction can stir things up. Activities such as drilling, quarrying, and the cacophony of grinding, crushing, and sawing materials like rock, wood, ore, and metal, can send particles into the air. The outcome? A swirl of dust in the atmosphere.

Health Impact: Dust and Respiratory Concerns

Step into the workplace—where dust can settle in unnoticed corners. Inadequate ventilation can lead to the buildup of dust. When inhaled by workers, this dust can cause problems. Breathing issues, potential harm to the lungs and respiratory organs, and even worsening of pre-existing health conditions may come into play.

Metals and Metalloids

Consider the following: metals and metalloids, modest yet pivotal contributors within the industrial landscape. They seamlessly integrate into diverse processes, including the realms of pesticides, fertilizers, and mining. Moreover, their release during waste incineration and vehicular emissions represents an exposure risk and harm to human health.

Unveiling the Science

Now, let's dive into some technical details. Exposure to these metals can pose health risks that aren't always obvious. Our team of experts has developed precise and trustworthy air testing methods to safeguard your well-being.
