Air Quality Studies

Since the introduction of national environmental standards on air quality, mostly arising from requirements to meet EU Directives and respective criteria, awareness of public air quality issues has increased, and air quality monitoring has become an integral component of development planning applications, monitoring of construction works, compliance monitoring of industrial operations and monitoring of other activities that cause deterioration of ambient air.

Ecoserv Ltd offers a range of services concerning air quality studies, including monitoring of ambient air, point source and diffuse source emissions, and indoor air quality. Ecoserv Ltd possesses state-of-the-art equipment to carry out studies according to EU standard methodology. Moreover, highly qualified scientific experts carry out air dispersion modeling studies, with the aim of assisting planners, developers and industrial companies in assessing the potential impact of emissions on ambient air quality and overall compliance of any proposed development or operations.

Examples of key air quality studies undertaken by Ecoserv Ltd:

Air dispersion modelling study to assess the impact of the proposed CCGT and LNG storage and regasification plant at the Delimara power station.
Air quality studies in relation to the proposed project of upgrading the Kappara road junction.
