JVIDÊÓƵ examines the concentrations and composition of Diesel Engine Exhaust Emissions (DEEE) to help you reduce exposure to harmful DEE fumes and comply with COSHH regulations, environmental protection and management Act.
What is diesel engine exhaust emission (DEEE)?
Diesel Engine Exhaust Emissions contain many hazardous substances including heavy metals, toxic gases, PAHs, NOx, Particulate/Soot, VOCs, and more. JVIDÊÓƵ can accurately measure and assess the personal exposure risks to these harmful compounds and provide expert bespoke advice on control measures.
How are diesel engine emissions measured?
The general principle of measuring airborne substances is via active sampling using battery-powered pumps attached to individuals or in static locations. Known volumes of air are drawn through sample media (filters, sorbent tubes, or impinger solutions) positioned in the individual’s breathing zone or for background measurements fixed in static locations.
We can also perform passive sampling if required and direct reading calibrated handheld analyzers for immediate results. Depending on the analysis required the sample media will undergo subsequent laboratory analysis.
Detailed interpretative reports will be issued following the site visit and include:
- Executive summary of the workplace air monitoring project
- Site observations
- Substance toxicities
- Comparison of results with UK Workplace Exposure Limits or recognized international standards
- Discussions and conclusions
- Recommendations for remedial action and recognized good industrial practice
All reports are in accordance with our ISO 9001 Quality Management System and peer-reviewed by an experienced and qualified team member.
