MAS conducts analysis of particulate and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from products such as:

• Furniture
• Carpet
• Adhesives
• Building Materials
• Paints
• Paper
• Finishes
• Cleansers
• Copiers

These services are geared toward manufacturing companies who want to ensure that their product’s emissions are below maximum allowable levels required by EPA procurements specs, the state of Washington’s indoor air quality program for new construction, World Health Organization’s recommendations, and Germany’s Blue Angel program for electronic equipment. MAS uses state-of-the-art, EPA-styled chambers (See Small Chamber and Large Chamber). Methods used are:

• ASTM E1333-96 (formaldehyde)
• ASTM D22.05 (asbestos)
• ASTM D5116-97
• ASTM D6670-01
