When it comes to industrial safety and environmental health, assessing the presence of mineral oil in air and on surfaces is a critical part of ensuring a safe and compliant environment after a spill. At LCS Laboratory Inc., we provide mineral oil concentration testing for both airborne and surface contamination following spill remediation.

Why Assess Mineral Oil After Spill Remediation?

After a spill or cleanup operation, it’s essential to confirm that all mineral oil residues have been effectively removed. This is not only important for maintaining air quality but also for safeguarding the health and safety of employees and residents. Our testing service ensures that mineral oil is below acceptable levels for airborne mist and not detectable on working surfaces.

Comprehensive Mineral Oil Testing Solutions

At LCS Laboratory Inc., we specialize in hazardous material analysis and offer comprehensive testing services tailored to your needs. Whether you’re dealing with industrial environments or residential properties, we provide accurate results that meet stringent safety standards.

Our services include:

  • Air sample collection using 0.8-micron air sampling cassettes designed to capture submicron oil droplets
  • Surface oil sample collection with pre-cleaned cotton wipes to collect residual mineral oil from surfaces

We utilize the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) technique, following the NIOSH 5026 method, to analyze both air and surface mineral oil samples. This ensures compliance with industry standards for environmental and safety regulations.

Accurate and Reliable Testing at Our Accredited Laboratory

Once your air and surface samples are collected, they are sent to our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory in London, Ontario, Canada, for oil extraction and testing. Results will be reported in micrograms per sample for surface analysis and milligrams per cubic meter for air samples. These results allow you to compare findings with air quality standards and surface contamination guidelines in both industrial and residential settings.

Ensuring Quality and Accuracy

At LCS Laboratory Inc., we are committed to delivering accurate, reliable results. Our lab adheres to strict quality assurance protocols throughout every stage of testing to ensure that the final results are trustworthy and aligned with your specific requirements.
