Stationary Source Emission Testing (Stack Emission Testing)

Air Analyses (Stationary Source Emissions, Ambient Air)

post-image

On-site testing of air emissions from stationary sources such as generator sets, boilers, and scrubbers which involves samples collection and on-site measurements applying the air testing gold standard methods and protocols of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA).

The Philippines has established strict regulations for air emission testing to ensure that industries comply with environmental standards. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is responsible for enforcing these regulations through its Environmental Management Bureau (EMB). Industries are required to undergo regular air emission testing to monitor their compliance with the standards set by the Clean Air Act.

The air emission testing process in the Philippines involves the use of specialized equipment to measure the amount of pollutants released into the air by industries. The EMB has accredited testing laboratories to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Industries are required to submit their test results to the EMB for review and any necessary action. Non-compliance with air emission standards can result in fines, closure of business operations, or even imprisonment of responsible individuals. Overall, the Philippines' strict regulations and rigorous testing process demonstrate its commitment to protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development.
