Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that both vaporize into air and dissolve in water. VOCs are pervasive in daily life, because they’re used in industry, agriculture, transportation, and day-to-day activities around the home. Once released into groundwater, many VOCs are persistent and can migrate to drinking-water supply wells.

Mercury compounds vary in toxicity, so OSHA provides standards for each. It is important to clarify which category a compound belongs to before comparing it with a standard or determining its relative toxicity.

It is important to monitor IAQ parameters such as Temperature, Relative Humidity, Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (According to the EPA Modern landfills are well-engineered and managed facilities for the disposal of solid waste.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitors are a great solution for evaluating indoor air pollution.

Aerosol monitors, commonly referred to as dust monitors, particulate monitors, light scattering laser photometers, and nephlometers, are used to measure dust, smoke, mist, fume, condensates, and fog.
