Air testing
Advanced air quality testing aligned with local regulations
Maintaining air quality is essential to protecting both public health and overall quality of life. Eurofins Environment Testing laboratories provide a comprehensive range of air testing services, specialising in EPA methods outlined in the Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Toxic Organic Compounds in Ambient Air and in EPA Air Emission Test Methods promulgated in the Federal Register and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
In addition to EPA protocols, Eurofins Environment Testing laboratories also apply ASTM methods tailored for a range of environmental air matrices. For projects with unique or complex requirements, Eurofins Environment Testing offers custom method development and validation upon request, leveraging advanced technologies and internationally recognised methodologies.
Highly trained teams bring expertise and experience to every project, ensuring reliable, accurate, and actionable results.

Stack testing
Eurofins Environment Testing’s expertise in stack emissions analysis and monitoring ensures world-class support to field sample collection and consultancies. Programmes can be tailored to specific needs. On-site teams consist of engineers, chemists and specialised technicians working together to analyse chimney emissions.
Facilities or processes that are governed by regional or national regulations must comply with license specificities. The comprehensive range of state-of-the-art equipment at Eurofins Environment Testing laboratories supports chimney emission analysis programmes based on recognised international protocols. Mobile laboratory units provide a clean environment for preparing and recovering samples from sites without hindering day-to-day activities.
Stack emission analysis and monitoring programmes utilise methods tailored to specific applications. Sampling and determinations are provided for for PAH’s (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons), PM10 (Particulate Matter <10 microns), various metals including mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), as well as for ammonia (NH₃), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), formaldehyde, acids (HNO₃, HCl, H₂SO₄, H₃PO₄), and total fluoride.
