Environmental monitoring

In order to provide a comprehensive service and ensure the collection of primary data, we have developed conventional and non-conventional environmental monitoring capabilities, covering the most varied needs of our customers.

We have our own instrument laboratory for the measurement of gaseous emissions and air quality under EPA Standards, and ENRE qualified personnel. We can evaluate gases in internal environments and ventilation systems. Our capabilities include the instrumental assessment of odors.

We have equipment and personnel to perform quality monitoring of surface waters (rivers, lakes and seacoast), groundwater, liquid effluents, noise, vibration and electromagnetic fields.

For special or infrequent projects, such as in the nuclear industry, we even develop new methodologies and monitoring equipment to ensure the quality of results.
