Air monitoring during removal or abatement works establishes whether asbestos fibres are present in or around the area.
It is a legal requirement for monitoring during licensed removal works. Air monitoring is conducted by sampling a known volume of air through a sampling pump and then analysing the slide mounted filter membrane via Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM).

Emergency Scenarios
Mobile Laboratory
Enquin Environmental has a fully equipped, state-of-the-art, mobile laboratory to meet demand on-site for this facility. The mobile laboratory is fully autonomous with its own power, lighting and heating and can also be connected to mains power when this is available.
We also regularly undertake air testing in emergency scenarios – ensuring a rapid response in situations where Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) may have been inadvertently disturbed, providing peace of mind along with suitable advice to Clients and Building Occupants.
A periodic background monitoring program in locations where ACMs are present but have not been disturbed can also be used to complement a robust asbestos management strategy, giving confidence to building users that they are safe in their day-to-day activities.
Full Service Package
Enquin Environmental can help in all aspects of the project process from a full service package that includes:
- Prioritisation and review of Asbestos Survey report recommendations
- Production of scope and specification documents
- Tendering and appointing contractors
- Smoke testing and analytical attendance
- Four stage clearance (UKAS accredited)
The HSE recommends that the Client appoints the Analytical Company direct rather than be appointed by the Licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor to ensure independence and avoid any potential conflict of interest.
All Air Monitoring must be undertaken by a UKAS accredited company in accordance with ISO 17025 and HSG248: Asbestos: The analysts’ guide.
