Healthcare laboratory air quality

Pathology, microbiology, biochemistry and pharmacy laboratories combine clinical and occupational air quality concerns. Our healthcare laboratory air quality service covers chemical exposure, particulate behaviour, LEV performance and pressure regimes against the relevant standards.

Risks specific to laboratories

Solvent and reagent VOC exposure, formaldehyde in histopathology, particulate burden in pharmacy aseptic environments and cross-contamination risk between lab and adjacent clinical spaces. Each is addressed differently.

02

Service scope

Air quality measurement at the bench and at the room scale, LEV verification where local extract is in use, pressure regime checks at lab/corridor and lab/lab interfaces, and integration of findings with the wider healthcare ventilation assessment.

03

Reporting

Reports are written for laboratory managers and estates teams jointly, with clear status against COSHH, HTM 03-01 and applicable cleanroom standards.
