Beacon has received laboratory accreditation by the New York Department of Health for the analysis of air and emissions samples via US EPA Methods TO-17 and TO-15.

In 2015, the US EPA established a new rule requiring all petroleum refineries to monitor the emissions of Benzene around the facilities’ perimeter using sorbent tubes that passively sample air for 2-week periods (EPA Method 325).

The US EPA released in August 2015 an Engineering Issue Paper titled, Passive Samplers for Investigations of Air Quality: Method Description, Implementation, and Comparison to Alternative Sampling Methods.

The US EPA released in June 2015 the Vapor Intrusion Guidance Document in its final version: OSWER Technical Guide for Assessing And Mitigating the Vapor Intrusion Pathway from Subsurface Vapor Sources to Indoor Air. In 2002, the EPA released the DRAFT version of the document which quickly became outdated as practices and knowledge rapidly developed in managing sites with vapor intrusion concerns.

Beacon continues to expand its service area throughout Latin America and is developing product information in Spanish and videos with Spanish subtitles to assist clients
