Real-time Monitoring of Hazardous Air Pollutants

MRI offers a systematic approach to the characterization of emissions from hazardous waste sites. Such an approach involves a combination of modeling and monitoring methods, developed from more than 20 years of experience assisting the EPA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and industrial clients.

Areas of Expertise

• Perimeter air sampling plan (PASP) development
• Network design and implementation
• QA/QC program development and documentation
• Analytical support and computerized data reporting (HPLC, GC/MS, IC, SFE, LC/MS, and ICAP)
• Meteorological monitoring and surveillance
• Environmental impact/fate and transport analysis

MRI works closely with clients to perform ambient air monitoring for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Our scientists have performed monitoring at numerous Superfund sites around the country. We can provide program management, network design, on-site monitoring activities, analytical support, modeling, and risk assessment.

Compliance Testing

MRI offers premier services in RCRA sampling and monitoring of waste incinerators. We have tested over 50 incinerators, including boilers, industrial furnaces, cement kilns, and Superfund site waste incinerators. MRI is fully equipped for isokinetic stack sampling; perimeter monitoring; continuous emission monitoring; and soil, water, and sediment sampling.
