Air Quality Monitoring in Cornwall


We provide air quality monitoring for workplaces in Cornwall which help measure background and personal levels of a range of substances which people may be exposed to at work, such as:

  • Chemicals
  • Fumes
  • Dusts
  • Fibres

Substances that have a harmful effect on your health are called ‘hazardous substances’. If exposure to a hazardous substance is not controlled, it may cause ill health.

Examples of hazardous substances that we can measure in the workplace include:

  • Wood dust
  • Respirable Crystalline Silica
  • Carbon Monoxide
  • Metallic dusts, such as lead and cadmium and their compounds
  • Flour dust
  • Oxygen
  • Ozone

What are the work place exposure limits of hazardous substances?

To find out more about Work Place Exposure Limits (WELs) of hazardous substances please refer to EH40.
