Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to Bureau Veritas UK Limited for incident air monitoring services, valued at £800,000.

The service, known as AQinMI, was established in 2009 to assess and monitor incidents generating large volumes of airborne emissions that may threaten public health or sensitive environmental features.

It was formed in response to the Buncefield Oil Depot explosion and fire of December 2005.

The primary aim is to quickly bring together experts during a relevant major incident to assess emissions to air and the risks they pose to people and the environment, and to provide advice to incident commanders, health practitioners, and the public.

The key element is the Air Quality Cell (AQC), a virtual team of technical experts with core members from the Environment Agency (EA), Public Health England (PHE), and the Met Office (MO).

To inform their assessment of public health and environmental risks from relevant major incidents, the AQC may require air quality data and samples to be obtained on a 24/7/365 response basis.
