Altum Scientific - Noise, Vibration, and Occupational Air Monitoring Services

Noise and vibration can have a wide range of adverse effects on human health and the environment. Long-term noise exposure can lead to permanent hearing loss and is associated with sleep disturbances, leading to illnesses, annoyance, increased stress levels, cardiovascular diseases, and other effects. High noise levels can also interfere with workplace communication, increasing the risk of accidents.

​

Vibration generated by transportation, quarrying, mining, demolition, construction involving explosives, piling and drilling operations, vibratory rollers, and compactors like wacker plates have the potential to cause aesthetic and structural damage to nearby structures.

​

Mechanical vibration at work can expose workers to hand-arm vibration (HAV) and whole-body vibration (WBV). HAV is caused by work processes transmitting vibrations to the hands and arms, leading to potentially permanent health effects known as hand-arm vibration syndrome, including vibration white finger

and carpal tunnel syndrome.

​

WBV is caused by vibrations transmitted through seats or feet from workplace machines and vehicles. Regular, long-term exposure to high levels of WBV is linked to lower back pain.

​

Occupational air monitoring is essential for protecting workers' health by identifying and controlling harmful airborne substances, ensuring compliance with legal standards, mitigating risks early, enhancing productivity, reducing healthcare costs, and demonstrating environmental responsibility while maintaining quality control in sensitive industries.

​

Altum Scientific provides a wide range of monitoring and assessment services to help clients manage noise, vibration, and occupational air quality issues. All our work is carried out according to relevant regulations, quality standards, and guidelines.
