Monitoring Field And Environmental Laboratories

Marine water quality is fundamentally important for all plants and animals that depend on the Salish Sea. It affects the amount of phytoplankton that are present in the surface water, which is critical because phytoplankton naturally take in and lock up large amounts of free carbon and release oxygen to the environment. Marine water quality also influences the ability of fish and marine mammals to grow and reproduce.

Environmental monitoring is an integral part of the Environmental Studies.  Over the last two decades,A1-GROUP monitoring team equipped with the latest technology field equipment has provided numerous environmental monitoring services to many organizations such as Environmental Consultants, Property Developers, Industries and the government authorities for the evaluation of the environment in a particular site or region.  The monitoring of environmental components below by ,A1-GROUP  field team provides information to reflect the existing conditions of a particular project site and can become the rational for environmental study areas to be carried out.

  • Ambient Air Quality
  • Boundary Noise Level or Area Noise
  • Marine Water
  • Surface Water (Lake, River, Pond)
  • Wastewater (Domestic and Industrial)
  • Groundwater
  • Soil
  • Drinking Water and Raw Water
  • Stack Emission

The simple answer is this one: Surface water is water that you can “see”, above any kind of soil or ground surface: river, lake, pond, chanel….. If you have to collect the water inside the soil (or inside the sediment), then it will be groundwater, whatever the depth of collection.

Sewage is waste water generated from residential areas like community whereas industrial effluent is waste water generated from various industries. Domestic sewage and industrial effluent differ in their composition and nature of pollutant. For example, microorganisms and organic matter are main pollutant in sewage

Groundwater is water that exists underground in saturated zones beneath the land surface. The upper surface of the saturated zone is called the water table.

Stack emissions are those gases and solids that come out of the smoke stack after the incineration process. Incinerators can be designed to accept wastes of any physical form, including gases, liquids, solids, sludges, and slurries. Incineration is primarily for the treatment of wastes that contain organic compounds. Wastes with a wide range of chemical and physical characteristics are considered suitable for burning. Most of these wastes are by-products of industrial manufacturing and chemical production processes, or result from the clean-up of contaminated sites.
