Air Testing Lab

About Air Testing Lab at Eco

We carry out all sorts of Ambient Air monitoring and tests from our NABL (TC-7477) accredited Air Testing Lab in Mohali, Chandigarh, as per all the specifications and requirements to comply with National/International Standards and scope of Accreditation by NABL (TC-7477). Pure, ambient air fosters enhanced health for all of us and reduces the risk of minor allergies, headaches, eye burn, and also disorders like cancer, Sick-Building Syndrome (SBS). Some of the first steps in estimating the air quality of any environment are Air Quality Monitoring/Air testing, which includes both Indoor Air Quality Testing and Ambient Air Quality Analysis.

How Air Testing Lab Helps

With the phenomenal growth in the industrial sector and infrastructure across the world, the overall health of our people is at a risk due to increasing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in the air, along with many detrimental free radicals beyond the unhealthy levels in the air. The outdoor atmosphere affects our internal air quality, making the employees in the workplace and our family members at home suffer from many diseases and disorders, which makes air testing of utmost importance. Therefore, regular Ambient Air Quality Testing and Indoor Air Testing Quality testing with the help of a professional air testing lab ensure that our people are living in a safe environment where air quality is as per the standards of healthy living.
