Asbestos Air Monitoring and Analysis

Air sampling provides tangible proof of airborne asbestos fiber concentrations before, during, and after the project is completed. When conducted accurately, air sampling protects the client by giving actual exposure data for anyone working in the area and the adjacent areas. Our staff is EPA accredited and IDPH licensed to perform air sampling and provide PCM analysis on-site. A phase contract microscope is utilized on projects to provide timely and accurate air sampling results. Our analysts are proficient in the AIHA Proficiency Analytical Testing Program. TEM analysis, a stronger form of magnification, is also available through accredited laboratories.

Air monitoring before, during, and after asbestos abatement projects in school buildings is required in Illinois. In public and commercial buildings, only clearance sampling (sampling after the abatement is completed) is required. However, many public and commercial building owners rely on the assurance that air sampling provides during an abatement project.
