Our most recent acquisition has been instrumentation to perform EPA TO Methods. In addition to the types of projects listed below, we are also capable of performing analyses for many other types of projects where low level analysis of organic compounds is needed.
Among the areas of research and remediation which our EPA Method TO-15 program supports are vapor intrusion, site assessment, remediation, real estate transfer and groundwater protection. In addition to our accreditation from the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP), we follow the protocols of the U.S.E.P.A, California Region 9, California DTSC, and other regulating agencies.
Project Applications:
- Indoor Air
- Vapor Intrusion
- CHHSLs Projects
- Soil Vapor Surveys
- Real Estate transfers
- Groundwater Protecton
- Occupational Health
Air One has been performing EPA Method TO-15 in a field or rapid turnaround setting for sixseven years and has gained a reputation for being able to "get the job done". Our ability to turn out high quality data is our greatest asset. Our chemists are expert in many types of analyses, although we maintain a relatively short list of methods in order to concentrate on the most environmentally necessary and those from which our clients can gain the most advantage.
As mentioned above we have recently acquired new GC/MS sytems. These are Agilent Technologies (formerly Hewlett-Packard) model 6850 Gas Chromatograph/5975C Mass Spectrometers. This instrument is capable of performing simultaneous full scan GC/MS and "Selected Ion Monitoring"(SIM) mode, which allows for the most flexible and sensitive analysis. We have coupled these to the latest equipment available for ambient air analysis (EPA Method TO-15)(Entech Instruments Inc., Simi Valley, CA) This includes new robotic sampling and single path analytical sampling to reduce carryover (a problem with older systems). we have equipped the chemists in our laboratories with these brand new state-of-the-art instruments, and in many cases made specific proprietary modifications in order to achieve low detection limits while maintaining the highest quality data for our soil vapor surveys and indoor air. Whereas many environmental lab companies utilize older,lower priced analytical instrumentation, Air One Laboratories prides itself in keeping our instrumentation current, using the latest sampling and analysis equipment available from each manufacturer of our choice.
