This document summarizes an air sampling project in Naples, Italy. It describes the project setup with 9 sampling sites equipped with various samplers to collect particulate, pesticides, PCBs, VOCs, mercury, and aldehydes. Samples were sent to a lab in Germany and data was made available online. Concurrent water and soil sampling also occurred at housing sites. The document outlines the specific sampling methods and equipment used, as well as challenges faced like long drives between sites, worker fatigue, and high turnover. Mitigation strategies are also described such as a buddy system, stopping work due to exposure risks, and grounding all electrical equipment.
IQ Academy Lunch & Learn Webinar | Cost Effective Water Quality Monitoring wi...IQ_UK
Lots of water quality monitoring is undertaken by the quarrying industry as part of demonstrating environmental permit compliance to the Regulator as well as day to day operational control. Cost is a very important driver in monitoring design and implementation but must not be at the expense of quality and effectiveness. This webinar will discuss how to maximise the effectiveness of water quality monitoring whilst also minimising cost.
Delivered by Dr Craig Speed, an Associate Director and Hydrochemist in Wardell Armstrong’s Water team. Craig has over 13 years of water consultancy experience and 4 years’ experience working for the Environment Agency. His expertise includes design, management and review of water quality monitoring (both groundwater and surface water), hydrochemical interpretation, providing lectures on water quality monitoring at Birmingham University, knowledge of UK water legislation (including environmental permits and abstraction licensing) and detailed knowledge of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) including WFD Compliance Assessments.
His recent project experience includes historic metal mine impact assessments, a quarry lake hydrochemistry project, a quarry conceptual model review, hydrogeology lead in major infrastructure projects, key expert in groundwater monitoring for a project in Turkey and conducting an investigation and adjudication following lime stabilisation impacts on water quality for an electrical infrastructure company.

A case study on Air Pollution in Cement IndustrySakib Shahriar
Air pollution is a major problem in Bangladesh. Cement industries are one of the most top contributors to GDP. They produce a lot of pollution in the environment. Local manufacturers do not maintain the requirement of the Department of Environment (DOE). This paper aims to study the pollution sources, emission inventory, emission monitoring, air pollution modeling, and pollution control equipment in the cement industry. Sample air pollution modeling is shown in AERMOD software. Finally, some recommendation was done in the paper.

This presentation outlines the approach taken by EnviroMist, in partnership with the University of Wollongong, to develop effective dust suppression systems for the mining industry.
A thorough approach using real-time dust monitoring, airspeed monitoring and material testing will be presented as the first step to define a dust problem. Following that, the use of modeling techniques such as CFD and DEM in combination with laboratory test data allows for the variables defining a problem to be investigated.
Finally, a solution can be proposed that is specific to the conditions of the application, based on the data collected and the results predicted from the simulation modelling. The presentation includes various case studies which demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.

2. Project Description
• Long-term ambient air sampling project
• 9 discreet sample sites equipped with
various samplers
• Sample media sent to lab in Germany
• Web site established for customer to
evaluate data
• Concurrent drinking-water and soil
sampling project @ housing sites
3. Polyurethane Foam/Vapor
Collection Systems (PUF)
• Pesticides, PCB & SVOC
Designed to simultaneously
collect both airborne particulate
and pesticide vapors. The Organic
Toxics Samplers house a
combination 4" diameter paper &
glass cartridge "PUF" holder to
collect samples at adjustable flow
rates between 2 and 10 CFM.
Sampling Methodology
5. PM-10 High Volume Air Sampler
• 8” X 10” flat filter media w/24 Hr chart recorder for
SCFM.
• Metals:
Particles greater than the 10 microns impact onto
the greased impaction surface. The PM-10 particles
smaller than 10 microns are carried vertically
upward by the air flow and down multiple vent tubes
to the 8-inch x 10-inch quartz fiber filter, where they
are collected.
The quartz fiber filter is weighed before and after
sampling. The weight increase is the mass of
particles smaller than 10 microns. The mass
concentration of PM-10 particles (micrograms per
cubic meter) is determined by dividing the
particulate mass (micrograms) by the sampled air
volume (cubic meters).
Sampling Methodology
6. SUMMA Whole Air
Sampler
• VOC’s
• Evacuated 1L canister w/adjustable flow rate.
EPA Methods TO-14A and TO-15 were designed
for analysis of ambient air samples. These
methods use collection of whole air samples in
specially prepared stainless steel canisters with
analysis by GC/MS.

Formaldehyde in automobile exhaust accounts for 50-70 percent of the total atmospheric carbonyl burden. Motor vehicles
emit reactive hydrocarbons that undergo photochemical oxidation in the atmosphere, producing formaldehyde and other carbonyls.
Short-term exposure to formaldehyde and other specific aldehydes (acetaldehyde, acrolein, crotonaldehyde) causes irritation
of the eyes, skin, and mucous
