Our firm has extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in identification and analyses of possible risks associated with actual pollutants that may be generated in a building. Typically, these services include a site visit, historical data review, possible sampling and testing, pollutant and risk analyses, equipment feasibility, and recommendations for possible improvement or abatement.

AES staffs are familiar with the guidelines and standard operating procedures recommended by OSHA, NIOSH and other professional organizations. We use NVLAP, AIHA accredited and other certified labs for all of our analyses. A few of most common pollutants and their related testing are:

    • Sampling for volatile organic compounds or any other industrial gas generated at a building including vapor intrusion
    • Sampling for trace methamphetamines drug labs
    • Identifying odor, allergens, dust mite or other nuisance
    • Measuring radon gas, electromagnetic fields, and lighting
    • Identifying water leaks that increase mold or bacterial growth
    • Measuring air flow, humidity, temperature for heating, ventilation & air conditioning (HVAC) performance
    • Measuring air quality in confined spaces
    • Sampling for asbestos and lead-based paint for personal monitoring, demolition, remodeling or abatement (see also Section VII) projects
    • Review of possible pollution sources in complaints referred to as "sick building syndrome"
