mong the workplace air pollutants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the most complex to understand. They are a major group of compounds with numerous emission sources and can pose serious health effects.

It has been demonstrated that biological sampling is the better approach to assess total human exposure in relationship to health risk. And due to the current advances in instrumentation and techniques for the VOCs analysis, the use of breath samples has become a reliable means for these studies and a better measurement than blood or urine.

Breath samples clearly have the advantage of being a non-invasive procedure and easy to collect at any time in the workplace, which is not the case with blood samples.

In addition, our ultra sensitive analysis applied to breath samples, using Automated Thermal Desorption/Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (ATD/GC/MS), allows detection at the parts per billion levels.

We, at CASSEN Testing Laboratories, are prepared to help you with this procedure.

In CASSEN, our expertise in VOCs biological monitoring through breath sampling, data analysis and interpretation will be at your service, easing the understanding of the pollutants affecting your workplace.
