Instrumentation specialist Quantitech
has supplied the Scottish
Environment Protection Agency
(SEPA) with a range of the latest
environmental monitoring
technologies that will be used by the
Airborne Hazards Emergency
Response (AHER) service to improve
the provision of information about
airborne hazards during a significant
incident such as an explosion or a
major fire. This will allow NHS
Scotland and the emergency services
to assess the potential risks to human
health and mitigate them.

The monitoring equipment includes
advanced portable Gasmet FTIR multigas
analysers in addition to Tecora
Echo high volume and Delta low
volume air sampling equipment. The
instruments have been deployed in
mobile vehicles and provide SEPA with
the ability to respond quickly to
emergencies by monitoring airborne
particulates and almost any gas.
