Industrial Hygiene Air Testing
Galson Laboratories was founded in 1970 by Allen Galson. Allen recognized the need for industrial hygiene services to help industry manage environmental and occupational health risks, so he assembled a team of chemists to help companies comply with the new Occupational Health and Safety Act and emerging environmental legislation. The company grew steadily, responding to the increased regulatory requirements with new technologies and methods to meet the more stringent standards.
At the end of 1996 Joe Unangst, who directed the laboratory operations at the time, purchased the Galson laboratory operations. Joe focused the company on client service, continuous improvement process and on developing innovative programs to meet clients' needs, all of which have contributed to the continued success and growth of the company.

Air Quality Analysis
The Galson Dual Column/Co-Solvent GC Method using our universal solvent system allows for a wide range of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) to be collected on the same media. Galson can perform air quality analysis of samples using a single analytical method with acceptable recoveries for all analytes. In addition to the single universal extraction, VOCs are now analyzed using dual column confirmation.
The Universal Solvent GC Method table lists the Limit of Quantitation (LOQs) depending on whether you use a 3M organic vapor badge (3M OVM), a small charcoal tube (SKC 226-01 SM CT) or a large charcoal tube (SKC 226-09 LG CT).
We can satisfy all of your LEED IEQ 3.2 and MSHA 30 CFR Testing requirements for air quality testing protocols and all of your hexavalent chromium testing and sampling needs too!
