Emissions and air quality

Air is an invisible medium. To manage it, we need reliable data.

Emissions and air quality are not the same thing​

Air is a dynamic medium, the monitoring of which requires specific expertise and appropriate analytical methods.

Emissions analyses measure what is released from production facilities via specific emission points.
Air quality monitoring, on the other hand, assesses the presence of pollutants in the environment, providing an overview of air quality in a given context.

Emissions generated by production processes can vary depending on the raw materials used, the technologies employed and the operating conditions of the plants. For this reason, monitoring their composition is essential for understanding how the processes behave, assessing their environmental impact and verifying compliance with authorisation requirements.

Main analytical categories

Emissions and air quality analyses make it possible to determine the concentration of pollutants, monitor how these concentrations change over time, and identify any critical issues before they lead to environmental or operational problems. In addition to the requirements laid down by legislation, monitoring serves as a useful control tool for optimising production processes and assessing the effectiveness of abatement systems.
