Air Quality:
Testing, Monitoring, and Modeling

For more than a decade, Barr has been providing clients with integrated air quality services such as assistance, testing and monitoring, air-pollution-control design and troubleshooting, and air quality impact studies, including:

Stack testing: The chemical engineers and technicians who perform Barr's stack testing are well versed in regulatory monitoring requirements—and they'll get the accurate results you rely on for compliance and engineering purposes. Our stack testing services include:

  • Test plan preparation
  • Regulatory negotiation
  • Sample collection
  • Process data monitoring and collection
  • Lab analysis coordination and data analysis and interpretation

If your situation calls for a new approach, we can adapt NIOSH, OSHA, NCASI and other methods to collect a range of organic and inorganic compounds. We also use diagnostic techniques such as particle sizing and three-dimensional flow profiling. And, for clients who need it, we supply ambient air and indoor air quality monitoring. Read more about our stack testing services.

Ambient air monitoring: Do you need ambient air data for construction permits, indirect source permits, RCRA permits, or a Superfund site remediation? Barr's air quality engineers, scientists, and technicians have conducted ambient air monitoring for both criteria pollutants (regulated by NAAQS) and toxic pollutants (regulated by NESHAPS and Title III). We work with clients and regulators to establish monitoring program goals, pollutants to be monitored, detection limits, sampling and analysis methods, spatial and time scales, and reporting formats. Because we've conducted monitoring projects for manufacturing, industrial, mining, refining, and utility clients, we also understand long-term operations and maintenance, security, power, and access issues.

Dispersion modeling: Our team of air quality specialists with modeling expertise is one of the largest in the region. We have experience with modeling for short- and long-range air dispersion, chemical transformation, visibility impact, and air pollution deposition—as well as with modeling for noise impacts and accidental chemical release impacts.
