The UK Environmental Quality Management Department (EQM), Air Quality Section is tasked with ensuring permit compliance associated with emissions released into the ambient air from stationary sources which is located on the ‘Permit Required Operations’ of this website. However, there are multiple UK Departments and the Asbestos section in EQM, which specialize in different regulatory permit requirements beyond monitoring the type and amount of allowable emissions. Although the program goals overlap, particular aspects such as health and safety should be redirected to the persons listed below.
Questions involving asbestos materials.
Fire prevention and training, fire suppression systems, fire extinguisher inspection and maintenance, life safety audits, emergency evacuation planning, and building codes.
Questions regarding chemical hood systems used to protect laboratory workers.
Questions regarding indoor air quality from sources such as remodeling, pest control, dust, and office thermal or humidity comfort.
