1-Day Rush
Same-day log-in before 2 PM CT and rush to 1 business day when a result is time-sensitive.
Exposure Monitoring for Kraft & Sulfite Pulp Mills
Pulp and paper mills concentrate a distinctive exposure mix — sulfur dioxide from the kraft (sulfate) pulping and recovery process, wood and fiber dust, and, in older mills, legacy asbestos in boiler and digester insulation. AGT Labs is the accredited industrial hygiene lab behind that monitoring, analyzing every sample in-house in Houston.
Mill work happens nationwide — Southeast, Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes and beyond — and the standards don't change with the region. We serve mills anywhere in the United States — kits ship out, samples come back by prepaid return label, and analysis is identical wherever it was collected.
- Wood and fiber dust by gravimetric analysis
- Asbestos (NVLAP bulk PLM; PJLA PLM/PCM) for legacy mill insulation
- Welding fume and metals for maintenance and outage work
- Noise and heat stress dosimetry
