Air quality

1 / Developing an Air quality diagnosis
Ambient air quality measurement and evaluation

Enviroconsult offers you its expertise in order to achieve ambient air quality measurement campaigns. Our engineers, specialists in metrology and physico-chemical analysis, master and taylor air quality measurement techniques to your needs.

In this context, Enviroconsult has a unique approach to achieve high resolution, large-scale measurement campaigns, using passive diffusion samplers, in France and abroad.

Enviroconsult is active on issues as varied as:

  • Impact of industrial plants and assessment of human health exposure risks
  • Identification of pollution sources , road traffic planning and management
  • Calibration and validation of urban air pollution models
  • Assessment of long term cumulative ecosystem exposure
  • Large scale mapping
  • Optimization to ensure that the network stations are representative
  • Database development for air quality management plans
  • Determination of priorities in the implementation of an atmospheric pollution reduction plan

Enviroconsult provides services in France and abroad, to international, national and local public authorities, but also to industries and engineering firms.

 

Quantification of atmospheric emission by calculation tools

Enviroconsult assists industries and public authorities to quantify atmospheric emission at their own scale.

We rely on standard tools and methods either national (INERIS, CITEPA...) or international (US-EPA, CORINAIR ...).

Regionally, the quantification of emissions of air pollutants is a complex task requiring the crossing of a multitude of information and approaches, combining "bottom-up" methods (adding individual sources) and "top-down" methods (distribution at a finer scale of emissions calculated globally). The result may be in the form of an inventory or a register.

2 / Planning and taking actions to reduce air pollution
Air Quality Planning for Territories

From a complete diagnosis that includes the state of the air, the effects on health, on the environment and on heritage buildings, some specific tools can be used, such as regional master plans for air quality (RPAQ) in France. This type of tools defines the medium and long term strategies and guidelines to prevent or reduce air pollution in order to achieve the goals of air quality defined in the same plan.

These plans are developed under the auspices of a committee including various regional actors: industries, local authorities, decentralized services of the state, associations, experts etc.

Enviroconsult, provides assistance to the project owner, by bringing its experience in the elaboration of such plans: project management, facilitating meetings or workshops, elaboration of reports and documents for all types of public, research and synthesis of data.

Enviroconsult operates in France and abroad with local public authorities,rich with numerous references, both from regional councils in France or national agencies abroad.

Control and Reduction of industrial air pollution

The Enviroconsult team includes engineers with skills in industrial processes. From a diagnosis of an industrial site emission sources, and through references on Best Available Techniques (BAT), they are able to conduct a techno-economical analysis. This work allows them to define an air pollution emission reduction strategy with the site managers. 

3 / Indoor Air quality

Enviroconsult helps you in establishing a reliable and comprehensive Indoor Air Quality diagnosis, relying on the expertise of its team and its network of partners.

Enviroconsult adapts its expertise to the specific needs of your situation and the context of the intervention.

Enviroconsult conducts Indoor Air Quality audits with an integrated approach In situ Survey / Sampling / Analysis / Test Report, based on European Standards AFNOR in Offices, Homes and Public buildings.

In this context, Enviroconsult carries out:

  • The collection of information together with your team,
  • the identification of pollutant sources and their effects on health,
  • a search for potential sources of pollution,
  • the comparison and objectivation of performance against existing benchmarks,
  • an assessment, as a first approach, of the potential impact of air quality on the comfort and the health of the occupants.

Enviroconsult also accompanies you during the presentation of the results to policymakers and the public.

Enviroconsult operates in France, for entities in charge of the Health Safety Environment policies of institutions receiving public and the tertiary sector, or in charge of the implementation of High Environmental Quality (Comfort and Health) policies.
