Advanced air quality testing aligned with local regulations

Maintaining air quality is essential to protecting both public health and overall quality of life. Eurofins Environment Testing laboratories provide a comprehensive range of air testing services, specialising in EPA methods outlined in the Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Toxic Organic Compounds in Ambient Air and in EPA Air Emission Test Methods promulgated in the Federal Register and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

In addition to EPA protocols, Eurofins Environment Testing laboratories also apply ASTM methods tailored for a range of environmental air matrices. For projects with unique or complex requirements, Eurofins Environment Testing offers custom method development and validation upon request, leveraging advanced technologies and internationally recognised methodologies.

Highly trained teams bring expertise and experience to every project, ensuring reliable, accurate, and actionable results.

Ambient air monitoring

Eurofins Environment Testing’s ambient air monitoring services measure air quality in outdoor environments. Using advanced technologies, laboratories detect and quantify pollutants to ensure compliance with environmental standards and protect public health.

Ambient air monitoring tracks the quality of the outdoor air around us. Air pollution has a direct effect on human health, and an indirect effect on the environment — impacting vegetation, as well as the acid and nutrient balance of soils and water. As environmental concerns continue to grow globally, air quality regulations have become increasingly strict.

Accurate and reliable air quality data allows companies and communities to better understand their environmental impact and take corrective action where needed.

Malaysia's New Ambient Air Quality Standard (2020) covers 6 key pollutants:

  • Particulate matter <10 microns (PM10)
  • Particulate matter <2.5 microns (PM2.5)
  • Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
  • Carbon monoxide (CO)
  • Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
  • Ground-level ozone (O3)

Stack testing

Eurofins Environment Testing’s expertise in stack emissions analysis and monitoring ensures world-class support to field sample collection and consultancies. Programmes can be tailored to specific needs. On-site teams consist of engineers, chemists and specialised technicians working together to analyse chimney emissions.

Facilities and processes governed by Malaysian environmental regulations must comply with license specifications. Eurofins Environment Testing Malaysia conducts chimney emission monitoring using the DOE-recognized ISO-Kinetic method (MS 1596:2003 & USEPA), supported by state-of-the-art equipment and internationally recognised protocols.

Stack emission analysis and monitoring programmes are tailored to specific applications, covering parameters including but not limited to:

  • Dust particulates and PM10 (particulate matter <10 microns)
  • Heavy metals, including mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
  • NOx, N2O, CO, CO2, O2, SO2
  • NMVOC (volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds)
  • Acid gases (HCl, HF, NH3, H2SO4, H3PO4)
  • Ammonia (NH3), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and formaldehyde

Eurofins Malaysia supports customers across a range of industries, including chemicals, metals, mining, waste processing, oil, printing, pulp and paper, aluminium smelters, and steel mills. Our stack emission monitoring services include:
