Detecting volatile organic compounds in air
ChemCentre maintains a comprehensive capability for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in air.
Our methods can be used for industrial air emissions and ambient and indoor air quality investigations.
We are NATA accredited for a range of US EPA, NIOSH, OSHA and other internationally recognised methods including ambient air analysis of carbonyls, such as acetone and formaldehyde, according to US EPA TO11A and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by US EPA TO14A (using passivated canisters) or US EPA TO17 (using sorbent tubes).
We can also measure VOCs in indoor air using sorbent tubes with analysis by various NIOSH methods.
Many of our VOC analyses use full scan mass spectrometry as the final analytical technique allowing us to not only carry out target compound analysis but to also identify unknown substances in the sample.
We can provide a range of suitable sampling equipment calibrated and ready for use or we can attend your site and carry out the sampling as part of the service.
Our clients include both government and private sector. Our work has been used to support government regulators, to help companies meet emission control guidelines, and for OH and S legislation, workplace testing and to solve problems in process chemistry.
We stand by our results and can attend court as expert witnesses.
