Element offers UKAS/MCERTS accreditation for the sampling of bioaerosols (biological aerosols) fromstack emissions, in accordance with VDI 4257 Part 2, as required by the Environment Agency’s Technical Guidance Note M2.

Isokinetic sampling requires extraction from the stack gas itself into a specially prepared sterilized solution, which is then plated and stored under ideal conditions, allowing the living organisms to survive and form colonies. After a predetermined period, our experts count the biological colonies for bioaerosols, such as total fungi, total bacteria, and mycotoxins. Technicians can then calculate a concentration from the volume of gas sampled.

Our bioaerosols monitoring includes testing for endotoxins, yeasts, molds, bacteria, and fungus, including Aspergillus Fumigatus, which mainly arises from biological processes, e.g., waste recycling industry and material recovery facilities (MRF).

If you have any questions about bioaerosols monitoring or requirements, pleasecontact an expert today.
