Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences
Alkali Environmental provides MCERTS-accredited stack emissions testing, air quality monitoring, and environmental compliance support for pharmaceutical and life sciences facilities across the UK. We help operators meet stringent Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) and Environment Agency (EA) requirements for solvent emissions (VOCs), process exhaust testing, and indoor air quality compliance. Our services include MCERTS stack testing for VOCs, particulates, and process-specific pollutants, solvent management plans (SMPs) under the Solvents Emissions Directive, COSHH workplace air monitoring, indoor air quality testing for cleanroom and GMP environments, odour impact assessments, dispersion modelling, and environmental permit applications and variations. Pharmaceutical manufacturing involves complex emission profiles — from API synthesis and coating operations to solvent recovery and waste handling. Our consultants understand the sector's regulatory framework, including IED compliance, BAT reference documents (BREFs), and the specific monitoring conditions applied to pharmaceutical permits. We provide reliable, UKAS-accredited data with full traceability, fast turnaround, and reports that meet EA, HSE, and MHRA standards. Every report is prepared by experienced environmental consultants who understand the intersection of environmental compliance and pharmaceutical manufacturing quality systems.
