Ambient Air Monitoring

Ambient air testing is the process of collecting air samples from the surrounding environment to assess the quality and composition of the air.

For the sampling strategically placing air sampling devices or instruments at specific locations to capture samples of the outdoor air.

Collected sample analyzed to measure the concentration of pollutants/ impurity, such as particulate matter, gases, volatile organic compounds, and other contaminants (PM 10. PM 2.5, SOx. & NOx etc.) present in the ambient air.

Ambient air sampling give valuable data for assessing air quality, identifying pollution sources, evaluating compliance with air quality standards, and monitoring the effectiveness of pollution control measures.

Its important to  understanding the impact of air pollution on human health, the environment, and supporting evidence-based decision-making for air quality management and regulatory actions.
