NILU provides analytical services to help identify which chemical compounds are present, determine their concentrations and assess whether further investigation is needed.
How can we help?
NILU analyses very volatile, volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VVOCs, VOCs and SVOCs) in indoor air, workplace environments, emissions, environmental samples and products. We can identify and quantify a wide range of chemicals and compare the results with relevant limit or reference values where these are available.
NILU uses some of the most advanced and precise analytical methods available. Typical assignments include the analysis of:
- Workplace and indoor air in industrial facilities, schools, hospitals, offices and other buildings.
- Emissions from industrial activities and processes, including gases and other emissions requiring chemical characterisation.
- Environmental samples, including ambient air, water, soil and vegetation.
- Products and materials, including raw materials, toys, cosmetics, building materials and petroleum products.
These analyses can help identify the source of an unfamiliar odour or contamination, document chemical exposure, investigate the chemical content of products and materials or their emissions, and assess results against relevant requirements and limit values.
More than just analytical results
NILU uses advanced high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify a wide range of chemical compounds, including when the substances of interest are not all known in advance. This allows us to tailor the analysis to the question the client needs answered, from targeted analysis of specific compounds to broader investigations of the chemicals present in a sample.
We also help interpret the results and advise on the most suitable analytical approach for each client’s needs.
