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. Centrally managed content
Our laboratories have IANZ accreditation for the analysis of air samples for a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds utilising NIOSH, USEPA and New Zealand standard methods, including:
We are also IANZ accredited for the on-site sampling of workplace air and stack emissions.
Soil vapour monitoring is a specialised process for determining the levels of contaminants within the headspace of soils. It is often used in preliminary investigations for site contamination works in conjunction with groundwater and soil monitoring. We can sample from pre-installed bores or can install temporary bores if required.
Eurofins Environment Testing New Zealand laboratories are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 for the sampling of air and gases around landfills by New Zealand standards and for analysis according to USEPA 8260 methodology. We also have the capability to sample soil vapour via carbon tubes & summa canisters with the preparation and analysis of the certified clean carbon tubes & summa canisters undertaken by our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.

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. Centrally managed content
Facilities or processes that are governed by regional or national regulations must comply with license specificities. The comprehensive range of state-of-the-art equipment at Eurofins Environment Testing laboratories supports chimney emission analysis programmes based on recognised international protocols. Mobile laboratory units provide a clean environment for preparing and recovering samples from sites without hindering day-to-day activities.
Stack emission analysis and monitoring programmes utilise methods tailored to specific applications. Sampling and determinations are provided for for PAH’s (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons), PM10 (Particulate Matter <10 microns), various metals including mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), as well as for ammonia (NH₃), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), formaldehyde, acids (HNO₃, HCl, H₂SO₄, H₃PO₄), and total fluoride.
Eurofins Environment Testing supports customers in several types of industries including chemicals, metals, mining, waste processing, oil, printing, pulp and paper, aluminium smelters, steel mills, etc. Sampling and stack emission monitoring services include:
On-line analysis of total organic compounds (TOCs) / volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through flame ionisation detectors (FIDs)
Verification Studies with United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Relative Test Accuracy (RATA) Verification Protocols
