Atlantic Environmental is a small business concern that was founded in 1978 for the purpose of providing consulting and testing/sampling services in the industrial hygiene, safety, and environmental fields. As the company grew, our services expanded to include indoor air quality, asbestos, lead, hazard communication/right-to-know, hazardous waste, Phase I & II environmental site assessments, underground storage tanks and green building services.
As a small business that provides the overwhelming majority of services to large organizations and government agencies, our viability depends on our quality of work, the qualifications of our principals and staff, the strength of organizational management and the ability to rapidly deliver final reports after all laboratory data and information has been evaluated. What makes us unique is our ability to apply our specialized knowledge and experience to tackle complex problems relating to environmental, health and safety in the workplace.
