Analytical Chemistry
We can help you to assess your control measures in protecting
against exposure to both inorganic and organic chemicals within the
workplace. We provide highly sensitive analytical methods for
the analysis of a wide and diverse range of chemicals to levels to
monitor concentrations of chemicals in air, liquids or solids.
Our assays enable you to demonstrate compliance with Great
Britain's Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs, see EH40 for
current list) and we are authors for the Methods for Determining
Hazardous Substances (MDHS) guidance.
Our services cover the following areas:
- Organic analyses - including
volatile organic compounds (VOCs, solvents), isocyanates,
formaldehyde.
- Inorganic analyses - including
metals analysis, respirable crystalline silica, acid gases
- Process fumes such as from
welding, soldering, diesel engine exhaust
- Bespoke services - including
product emission analysis, containment testing, proficiency
testing, bulk material analysis
-
Real Time Measurement
Our full range of analyses are suitable for both personal/static
air samples & wipe samples, catering for small & large
batch sizes, with 15-day turnaround times for our routine assays.
Where requested by the customer, HSL can also provide wipe kits,
thermal desorption tubes and filters or pre-loaded IOM cassettes,
with advice on sampling times and recommendations for
transportation & storage.
