Environmental remediation is a critical process involving the removal of soil and sediment, along with associated contaminants, to restore environmental quality. With government standards in place in most industrialized nations, each country sets its own regulations for soil decontamination, guiding the assessment and analysis conducted by site managers and environmental consultants.
Regulations not only dictate remediation methods but also mandate the monitoring of air quality in real-time to ensure compliance with set limits. Fine particles such as PM10 and PM2.5, aerosols, and dust are among the emissions monitored, with monitoring agencies requiring data to prove adherence to regulations and take action if limits are exceeded.
In remediation applications, monitoring aerosols, gases, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is essential. This includes perimeter monitoring at hazardous waste sites, brownfields, and construction sites, as well as urban air pollution monitoring and roadside emissions monitoring. Community watch groups and state implementation plans may also take an interest in monitoring remediation sites.
At TSI, we offer a comprehensive range of air quality monitoring equipment designed for continuous, real-time monitoring of remediation sites. From fence-line monitoring to community watch group monitoring, our solutions ensure compliance and facilitate effective environmental remediation.
