Environmental Standards Ltd uses the following standards to measure air quality:

• Horizontal deposit gauge method, based on ISO/DIS 4222.2

This method involves the placement of a fixed number or deposit gauges throughout the area of concern. The deposit gauges are sent to our laboratory every 30 days where the dust fall is analysed and calculated.

• PM10 monitoring or total suspended particulate matter (TSP), based on AS/NZS 3580.9.3:2003 and other associated standards

These methods involve the flow of ambient air at a known flow rate through glass fibre filter paper. Sampling units pump air usually over a 24 hour period. Filters are removed and sent to our laboratory for analysis.
