TEM Environmental, Inc. offers comprehensive lead air monitoring and analysis services to ensure compliance with safety regulations and protect workers and occupants from exposure.
Abatement Projects
A lead abatement project design is a detailed plan outlining the procedures, materials, and safety measures required to eliminate or control lead hazards in a property. This process ensures that lead abatement activities are conducted safely and in compliance with regulatory standards, protecting both occupants and workers from exposure.
Residential Services
Lead hazards in residential properties, especially those built before 1978, can pose significant risks to your family’s health. TEM Environmental, Inc. offers professional residential lead inspections to identify potential sources of lead exposure, including lead-based paint, dust, soil, and plumbing.
What is Lead?
Lead is a naturally occurring heavy metal. Lead exposure is particularly harmful to children and pregnant women, causing developmental and health issues that can have lifelong effects.
Health Risks of Lead Exposure
-
In Children: Developmental delays, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and reduced IQ
-
In Adults: High blood pressure, kidney damage, and neurological issues
-
In Pregnant Women: Lead exposure can result in harm to the fetus, including developmental issues and low birth weight

Air Monitoring and Analysis
Lead dust and particles can become airborne during construction or abatement activities, creating an invisible risk for workers and occupants. Monitoring airborne lead levels is critical to:
-
Protect Health: Prevent exposure to toxic lead particles that can cause severe health effects.
-
Ensure Compliance: Meet OSHA, EPA, and HUD standards for permissible exposure limits (PELs) during lead-related activities.
-
Verify Effectiveness: Confirm the success of containment and cleanup procedures through final clearance testing.
TEM Environmental, Inc. offers comprehensive lead air monitoring and analysis services to ensure compliance with safety regulations and protect workers and occupants from exposure. Through partnerships with accredited laboratories, we provide reliable and timely results to meet your project’s needs.
Baseline Air Quality Assessment
We establish baseline airborne lead levels before the start of any construction or abatement activities to serve as a reference.
On-Site Air Monitoring
Continuous air sampling during activities ensures containment systems are effective and airborne lead levels remain within safe limits
Worker Exposure Monitoring
Monitoring workers' exposure to lead ensures compliance with OSHA regulations and protects employee health.
Final Clearance Testing
After abatement or cleanup, we conduct clearance testing to confirm that airborne lead levels are safe for re-occupancy.
Laboratory Analysis
All samples are sent to accredited laboratories for precise analysis using advanced methodologies to provide accurate and reliable results.
