Environmental Monitoring & Industrial Hygiene

Field Sampling & Laboratory Analysis for Ambient Air, Stack Emissions, Workplace Hygiene & Noise

Regulatory bodies such as the State Pollution Control Boards (GPCB/MPCB) and CPCB mandate strict compliance with environmental emission norms. Satvam Research deploys trained field sampling engineers and modern analytical instrumentation to capture real-world environmental data. From continuous 24-hour ambient air sampling to hazardous waste leaching assessments (TCLP), our defensible reports ensure total regulatory readiness.

About Environmental Testing

Satvam Research provides certified environmental monitoring and industrial hygiene services across industrial manufacturing zones in Gujarat and Maharashtra. Equipped with calibrated high-volume air samplers, stack monitoring kits, flue gas analyzers, and Class-1 sound level meters, we measure ambient air quality (NAAQS), stationary emission sources (DG sets, boilers, scrubbers), workplace chemical exposure, and noise levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical & Regulatory Inquiries

Can Satvam Research monitor stack emissions for DG sets and boilers during live production?

Yes. Our field sampling team carries fully mobile stack monitoring kits to industrial sites across Gujarat and Maharashtra, conducting sampling while boilers and DG sets are under standard production load.

What sampling duration is required for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM)?

Per NAAQS guidelines, standard ambient air monitoring involves 24-hour continuous sampling for PM10, PM2.5, SO2, and NOx, with 8-hour or 1-hour intervals for gaseous pollutants.

How do you verify whether a waste material is classified as Hazardous Waste?

We perform TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) extraction followed by ICP-OES and GC analysis, benchmarking the extractable contaminant concentrations against CPCB Schedule II thresholds.
