Contract research

ASK experience is grounded in fundamental scientific research. In working together with academic institutions, commercial clients and government agencies, including the Environment Agency and the Health and Safety Executive, we have helped to develop mathematical models and risk concepts, and studied the effects of pollutant emissions.

We can provide your business or organisation with high levels of technical expertise in specific areas of health, safety and environmental risk.

Some of our previous research projects include:

Applying and testing concepts such as the Environmental Harm Index and Environmental Risk Criteria. [Read more]

Dispersion modelling within multidisciplinary programme to assess possible health effects of landfill gas on site workers.
A comparative study of emissions from various sources of biomass used in electricity generation.
