SCIPH-Air Environment Division
Analyzing airborne volatile organic compounds (VOC)
To preserve a clean air environment, the Air Environment Division conducts testing to identify the extent of contamination caused by air pollutants, including dioxins. Other research targets global environmental issues such as acid rain.
General examination service
General examination services include environmental investigations of toxic air pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds and heavy metals, as well as dioxins. It also performs malodor testing to control odors that can spoil our living environment. On a more global front, the division conducts fact-finding investigations related to acid rain (or snow) and freons, substances believed to cause depletion of the ozone layer.
