Stack Testing / Ambient Air

The needs for Stack Testing are changing, quickly and drastically.  Industries from non-metallic mineral processors to synthetic organic chemical manufacturers and from clean fuel boilers to hazardous waste incinerators are experiencing new or revamped environmental regulations.  "Criteria pollutants" are no longer the primary environmental concern.  Now industries are also concerned with hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), maximum achievable control technologies (MACT), Title V, metals, dioxin, speciated organics and a population that is much more aware of air quality.  As environmental regulations out pace method development and technology, sampling expertise and regulatory knowledge are paramount to a successful stack testing program.
