Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessments

MMG can conduct personnel interviews during IAQ assessments in order to gather more information about perceived IAQ issues, to determine the work schedules and movement of affected personnel, and generate reasonable estimates of employee exposures to various constituents of concern, if possible or applicable. MMG’s CIH and/or Environmental Scientists are able to use this information, along with sampling results, to issue recommendations that are protective of the health of the employees and help increase the comfort and perceived well-being of building occupants.

Exposure Assessments

MMG staff is trained and able to utilize direct reading instruments (DRI) such as an Indoor Air Quality Meter, Combustion Gas Meter, and/or Photoionization detector (PID) to determine the general indoor air quality inside the impacted building/facility. The testing parameters will include CO2, CO, H2S, oxygen, relative humidity, temperature, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). If there is a particular VOC of concern, MMG will utilize EPA TO-15 methodology to collect air samples through the use of stainless-steel vacuum canisters.

Radiation

MMG’s Industrial Hygeine staff are capable of performing radiation surveys to monitor radiation levels inside and around the areas of concern. The investigations also monitor the areas exterior to the Site in order to establish background radiation levels. MMG’s Certified Industrial Hygienist can then analyze the results in accordance to OSHA standards and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulations.
