About our Consultancy, Support, and Services activities
We offer a comprehensive range of consultancy, support and services that extend our expertise in atmospheric aerosol science beyond traditional research.
These services include the following
Advisory services: We provide advice to public and private organisations on air quality management, source reduction and the adoption of practices to protect environmental health, drawing on our deep understanding of aerosol science.
Analytical support services: Our laboratory is equipped with state of the art instrumentation for the analysis of atmospheric particles. We provide services to research groups, environmental agencies and industry partners. We specialize in the in-depth characterization of aerosol samples. This includes their chemical composition and toxicological properties.
Education and Training Services: In recognition of the importance of knowledge transfer, we organize workshops, seminars and training sessions on air pollution, its health effects and air quality improvement strategies. Our educational services are designed for a wide range of audiences. These include academic institutions and community organisations.
Assisting policy development: Drawing on our extensive research, we support governmental and non-governmental organization’s in the development and refinement of policies to reduce air pollution and its health impacts. Our work in evidence-based policymaking helps create more effective health and environmental regulations.
Our integrated approach to tackling the challenges of atmospheric aerosols is reflected in our commitment to providing advice, support and services. Through collaboration with a wide range of partners and stakeholders, we are committed to the development of sustainable solutions for the improvement of air quality and public health.

Addressing the Challenge: Innovative Solutions for Air Pollution in Mining
As part of our commitment to the critical challenge of air pollution from mining operations, we have been at the forefront of a number of consultancy projects.
These initiatives not only underscore our commitment to applying practical knowledge to real-world problems. They also demonstrate our team’s ability to deliver tangible results.
Project Spotlight: Combating Arsenic and Heavy Metal Pollution
Title: Arsenic Study 2022 CODELCO: Real-Time Concentrations, Atmospheric Dynamics, and Source Contribution
Leadership: M. Leiva and R. Toro;
Support: Funded by the Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile (CODELCO);
Timeline: June 1, 2022, to May 1, 2023;
Overview: Marking the initial phase of our comprehensive study, this project laid the groundwork for our ongoing research into arsenic pollution. By analyzinThis project underpinned our ongoing research into arsenic pollution.
Through the analysis of real time data on atmospheric concentrations and dynamics, we have gained invaluable insight into the sources of emissions, which will inform our mitigation and control strategies..
Title: CODELCO ARSENIC STUDY PHASE 2: ARSENIC AND HEAVY METALS IN PARTICULATE MATTER IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT. AsMETRIC: Science, Technology, and Innovation for Arsenic Emission Control
Leadership: M. Leiva and R. Toro;
Support: Funded by the Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile (CODELCO);
Timeline: December 1, 2023, to December 1, 2024;
Overview: Focusing on the accurate measurement and innovative control of arsenic emissions in the mining sector, this project epitomises our approach to environmental consulting. By bringing together the latest science and technology, we’re paving the way for major advances in emission control.
