Bergerhoff Dust Monitoring
The Bergerhoff dust method is carried out on most waste sites, landfill sites and sometimes building sites. It is a way of measuring airbourne dustfall occurring from manmade activities that may attribute to environmental adverse effects. The Bergerhoff method is accepted by the EPA and Local Authorities as part of waste or IPPCs licences. The method works by leaving out onsite dust jars for a period of 30 days. We take away these jars after this period and they brought back to our accredited laboratory for analysis. By methods of evaporation and gravimetry, a result is obtained. This result along with the amount of days the dust jar has been left out we can work out the dustfall per mg/m3/day. Dustfall limits are generally laid down in the planning permission for the site or in guidelines issued by the EPA. The dustfall concentrations laid down in the guidelines specify a limit of 350 mg/m3/day.
We then provide a full report and interpretation of results from the results and combine this into a report acceptable to the EPA and Local Authorities.
