Ambient Air Quality Monitoring and Stack Emissions Sampling

Equips laboratory and environmental staff at South African industrial sites, mines and municipalities to run air quality and emissions programmes. Delegates learn to operate ambient monitors, collect isokinetic stack samples, analyse gases and particulates, and turn field data into reports that support licensing and community reporting obligations.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the pollutants and parameters measured in ambient and stack monitoring.
  • Operate and calibrate ambient air quality monitoring instruments.
  • Plan and conduct isokinetic sampling of stack gases and particulates.
  • Analyse collected samples for gases, dust and metals in the laboratory.
  • Validate field and laboratory data against monitoring quality objectives.
  • Compile emissions and air quality reports for regulators and communities.
