Source Testing Basics

Most facilities are required to conduct source testing at some point during their operational history. The frequency of testing, staff turnover, and the various testing methodologies can make source testing feel like an overwhelming task. This training walks you through the basics of source testing, specifically, covering the following:

  • What makes source testing so hard;
  • Background for different pollutant measurements;
  • Questions that each facility should be asking before testing;
  • Documentation required before, during, and after testing;
  • Overview of various testing methodologies and how to implement each.

This 4-part training series is on-demand and can be viewed when it’s convenient for you.  A certificate of completion is provided at the conclusion and may be used towards continuing education hours (we recommend you check with your individual state’s requirements).  Please note that you can continue to reference the training for up to 30 days. If you have any questions about the course, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our marketing team at marketing@all4inc.com for assistance.
