Emission, immission, and air quality measurement
We conduct authorized emission measurements, technical and technological assessments, asbestos measurements, dust measurements for PM10 and PM2.5, and quality verification of automated emission systems (AMS).
Fully equipped measuring vehicle
We have everything at our disposal: from the Horiba PG 250 automatic analyzer and combined probes to kits for determining smoke darkness according to the Bacharach and Ringelmann scales.
Turnkey process
We provide site inspections, measurement reporting, communication with the Czech Environmental Inspection, and typically prepare a report within 10 business days.
Consultation services
We provide expert consulting on emission measurements for environmental and workplace safety. We also prepare documentation and assessments.
We offer regular emissions monitoring
You can use our services as needed on a one-time basis or opt for an advantageous annual service, as a part of which we will prepare a report on the yearly monitoring of your equipment.
