At Air Quality Monitoring Central Laboratories Ltd (AQMCL), our mission is to deliver precise, accredited air quality data to protect public health, support policymakers, and empower communities across Canada. From bustling urban centers to remote regions, our team and mobile monitoring labs stand ready to capture the air you breathe—accurately and reliably.
🧪 Core Air Monitoring Services
We provide a full suite of air quality services using cutting-edge equipment and methodologies trusted by industry and regulators:
-
Continuous ambient monitoring: Our permanent stations track pollutants like PM₂.₅, NO₂, O₃, SO₂, CO, and VOCs. Data is collected hourly or in real-time and used for regulatory compliance and AQHI reporting.
-
Mobile labs & emergency response: During wildfires, industrial events, or special studies, our retrofitted mobile labs and portable E‑BAM sensors deploy rapidly—like Alberta’s labs did during the 2024 Jasper wildfires Government of Alberta.
-
Low-cost sensor networks: We support community-level monitoring with cost-effective sensors (e.g., PurpleAir) to fill data gaps in rural, Indigenous, and underserved urban areas, enhancing spatial resolution Wired.
-
Indoor & workplace air assessments: We tailor monitoring protocols for CO₂, VOCs, particulate matter, and ventilation effectiveness in offices, schools, and industrial facilities—aligning with Health Canada and CCOHS guidance.
🏅 Quality Assurance & Regulatory Compliance
AQMCL adheres to the most stringent standards:
-
ISO 17025 accreditation ensures reliable lab results and chain-of-custody integrity.
-
Aligned with federal/provincial standards under CEPA, NAPS, and AQHI frameworks, providing defensible data for regulatory, health, and industry uses.
-
Robust QA/QC includes routine calibration, multi-point audits, data validation protocols, and alignment to Environment Canada methodologies.
🚀 Innovation & Technology
We continually evolve our monitoring capabilities:
-
Portable microsensor integration: Deploy cost-effective sensor arrays in neighbourhoods and schools to detect local pollutant hotspots.
-
Mobile lab technology: Our custom-built labs enable remote deployment during high-risk events like wildfires, with real-time mapping and data streaming for public health decisions.
-
Data management & public reporting: We curate data for AQHI feeds, share via web/Mobile apps, and support decision-making with dashboards, alerts, and analytics.
🌎 Community Engagement & Citizen Science
We believe clean air is a shared responsibility:
-
Partner with grassroots groups, municipalities, and First Nations to deploy sensors, interpret data, and advocate for cleaner air.
-
Enable citizen science through sensor kits and open dashboards—educating the public and amplifying local air quality awareness and actions.
