Ambient Air Monitoring

Maxxam offers the sampling media and analyses for particulates as TSP or PM10 collected on pre-weighed quartz hi-vol filters (8″ x10″) or PM2.5 on 47 mm Teflon filters. A series of metals can be tested subsequently from the same filter either by ICP-Axial or ICP-MS. The reference method is US EPA IO-3. We also offer dustfall measurement (as deposited particulate and metals content).

Ambient Air Measurement - Organics
From preparation of field sampling media to the collection of air and the subsequent analysis, Maxxam Analytics has extensive experience in all phases of testing of ambient air sources. For over 20 years, Maxxam has been active in the measurement of a large number of compounds in ambient air including Dioxins and Furans (EPA TO9), PCBs (TO4), and semi-volatiles (TO13) and emerging POPs. Maxxam offers methods TO14, TO15 and TO17 for volatile organics using Tedlar bags and thermal desorption tubes. Maxxam also offers low-level VOC analysis using SUMMA© canisters.
