Air Quality
Our air quality service offers sustainable solutions in atmospheric monitoring, modelling, impact assessment, licensing, and authorization to the public and private sector.
Air quality challenges have become the world’s largest environmental health risk, comparable to “traditional” health risks such as smoking, high cholesterol, and obesity. Air pollution, or the invisible killer, is responsible for a projected 6.5 million (or one in nine) premature deaths annually.
Urban centres around the world, and especially in Africa, face air quality challenges – more than 80% of people living in urban areas are exposed to air quality levels that exceed the WHO guideline limits. This is aggravated by climate change, unsustainable urban development, and economic hardship.
Historical approach to managing or mitigating air quality challenges are oftentimes reactionary, even with the advent of forecasting systems and modelling mechanisms for managing and mitigating these challenges.

Baseline, passive (diffusive) and dustfall sampling
Continuous ambient air quality monitoring
Fence line air quality and meteorological monitoring
Leak detection and repair (LDAR) programmes
