Assessment
Performing analytical studies in accordance with the conditions established in the environmental authorizations to the industries or in the monitoring programs regulated by legislation.
Purpose of the evaluation.
Details of the tests and analytical laboratories.
Air quality evaluation environment.
Duration of monitoring.
Location of sources (address and reference maps).
Location of monitors (latitude and longitude referring to the data used).
Altitude above sea level of the monitoring site.
Height above ground level of the sample intake.
Methods used.
Any variation of the location or methods of the test.
Factors that may have affected the results.
Comparison of results with relevant legislation.
Summary of the QA / QC processes.
Percentage of valid data obtained.
Estimation of the uncertainty measure for the results of the test.
Environmental conditions during monitoring, including temperature, pressure, wind speed and direction.
Monitoring and verification of data:
Every day the behavior of the different parameters is monitored to identify if the registered values are acceptable.
Supervision of QA / QC processes:
Supervision of QA / QC processes
• Limit values and thresholds that should not be exceeded.
• Evaluation thresholds that indicate the type of measure that must be carried out at least in one point.
• How different calculations (aggregations) should be performed.
Identification of sources.
Carrying out an inventory and classification of sources to know the characteristics of their emissions and the characteristics of the environment of the station. It is also interesting to know meteorological data and its wind rose.
Analysis, comparison and compliance with current legislation.
Design of action plans.
Management of maintenance works.
Monitoring of episodes of high levels of contamination and help in the activation of warning protocols.
