Assessment of pollutants in buildings

Numerous building pollutants, including asbestos, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), wood preservatives, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pose significant health risks and require thorough investigation. It is crucial to examine the building materials, especially during demolition or remodeling, to develop a risk assessment and ensure necessary protective measures and safe waste disposal.

As an accredited body for hazardous substance measurements, we conduct comprehensive material analyses and indoor air measurements for substances such as asbestos, artificial mineral fibers (AMF), PCBs, heavy metals, and more. We also provide support in the final assessment of remediation programs.
