Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQMS)
Our team will tailor your ambient air quality monitoring based on your unique needs.
We have solutions ranging from indicative monitors to regulatory compliant AAQMS.
Ektimo offer a comprehensive range of ambient air quality monitoring services to all industries. We support the design and implementation of suitable monitoring regimes depending on your specific situation and needs.
Monitoring programs are designed taking into consideration state-based regulations (ie Victorian Environment Reference Standard (ERS)) and the National Environment Protection Measures (NEPM) for ambient air quality.
A complete end-to-end solution when it comes to AAQMS; consulting, scoping, commissioning, monitoring, sampling, analysis, servicing, calibrating, data validation and reporting.
NATA accredited according to a range of AS 3580 series methods, and regulatory compliant with Australian requirements.
