What does indoor air quality testing measure?

Typically temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, dust, and airborne mould and bacteria. We tailor the testing to the complaint or the concern.

When is workplace air monitoring required?

When you are not certain that workers’ exposure to a hazardous airborne substance, such as silica dust, is below the workplace exposure standard, or when monitoring is needed to check that your controls are working.

Can you test the air in my home?

Yes. We test homes for mould, dust, VOCs and asbestos fibres, usually after a specific concern such as a leak, a renovation or ongoing symptoms.

Do you provide dust monitoring for development consent conditions?

Yes. We design the monitoring program, install the equipment and report against your consent or EPA requirements.

Do you cover the Central Coast?

Yes. Our Newcastle team covers the Central Coast, including Gosford and Wyong.

Air quality testing

Air quality testing for Newcastle homes, workplaces and sites

EnviroScience Solutions measures what is in the air: inside offices, schools and homes, on construction and demolition sites, and in workshops, plants and mines across Newcastle, the Hunter and the Central Coast.

Our occupational hygienists use calibrated sampling equipment and NATA accredited laboratory analysis, and report results against the relevant Australian standards and exposure limits.

What we test

Workplace air monitoring and occupational hygiene

Employers must make sure workers are not exposed to airborne contaminants above the workplace exposure standards. We carry out personal and static monitoring for:

Respirable crystalline silica

From cutting, grinding and drilling stone, concrete, brick and tile.

Inhalable and respirable dust

In construction, quarrying, mining and manufacturing.

Lead and other metals

From paint removal, welding and industrial processes.

Asbestos fibres

During removal and remediation, analysed in our own NATA accredited laboratory.

Chemical vapours and fumes

Personal and static monitoring in workshops, plants and industrial sites.

Mould and bacteria

Airborne mould spores and bacteria in homes, offices and after water damage.

EnviroScience Solutions holds a licence for sampling airborne dust, including inhalable and respirable dust and crystalline silica (Licence No. MLA 00017341). We also provide respirator fit testing and silica awareness training. See all occupational hygienist services.

Homes, offices and schools

Indoor air quality testing

Poor indoor air shows up as stuffiness, odours, headaches, fatigue and complaints, and sometimes as illness. An indoor air quality assessment measures what is causing it.

You get a report in plain language with results, likely sources and practical fixes.

An assessment can include

Temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide (the basic comfort and ventilation indicators)
Carbon monoxide and other gases
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paints, furnishings and chemicals
Airborne bacteria and mould spores
Dust and particulates
Asbestos fibres
Inspection of ventilation and air conditioning systems against AS/NZS 3666 and AS 1851

Construction and development

Dust, noise and vibration monitoring for construction

Development consents and the EPA often require monitoring at the site boundary so that neighbours are not affected by the works. We set up and run monitoring programs for:

Boundary dust monitoring

On construction, demolition and quarry sites.

Noise monitoring

Measured against your consent or EPA requirements.

Vibration monitoring

Near sensitive structures.

Good to know

Outdoor air quality in Newcastle

If you are looking for today's air quality reading for Newcastle, the NSW Government publishes hourly data from its air quality monitoring network. That network measures regional air quality. It does not tell you what is happening inside your building or at your site boundary, which is where site-specific testing comes in.

Areas we cover

Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Cessnock, Port Stephens and the wider Hunter, plus the Central Coast including Gosford and Wyong.
