AIR PT Air & Stack Emissions
We take air for granted: it is ubiquitous, essential, and life-giving. However, it is easily polluted by our activity and so requires regular monitoring to assess exposures and the effectiveness of containment or ventilation. Many everyday activities create air pollutants with known or suspected harmful effects on human health and the environment. Such pollution can cause both short and long-term effects on human, plant, and animal life. Our Air Stacks & Emissions Scheme (AIR PT) is a partnership between AXIO Proficiency Testing and the UK Health and Safety Executive. The scheme is operated by AXIO and supported by the technical testing and monitoring expertise at HSE. AIR PT combines our scientific and production expertise in different areas, providing an integrated solution for all laboratories undertaking analysis of samples from various fields of air monitoring. Participation in the AIR PT scheme supports a laboratory’s quality system in the monitoring and measurement of air quality in a wide range of contexts.
