Facilities face unique challenges when outdoor air quality degrades or internal processes malfunction. Whether you are managing the sudden impact of seasonal wildfire smoke or monitoring the ongoing emissions of heavy machinery, G2 Consultants provides the technical expertise to keep your workplace safe and compliant.
We deliver independent assessments, real-time monitoring, and actionable data to protect your workforce and your operations
Wildfire Smoke Exposure Assessment for Facilities
Wildfire events can rapidly compromise indoor air quality, even in sophisticated commercial and industrial environments. G2 helps facilities quantify smoke infiltration and implement protective measures that align with evolving regulatory standards.
Wildfire Smoke PM2.5 and Particulate Monitoring
Real-time Tracking: We deploy advanced sensors to monitor fine particulate matter (PM2.5). providing the data needed to make immediate safety decisions during smoke events.
Outdoor and Indoor Wildfire Smoke Infiltration Assessment
Infiltration Analysis: Our team evaluates how effectively your building envelope and HVAC systems are preventing outdoor smoke from reaching your employees.
Worker Exposure Evaluation During Smoke Events
Personal Sampling: We conduct direct exposure monitoring to determine the exact levels of smoke workers are inhaling during their shifts.
OSHA Wildfire Smoke Compliance and Protective Measures Review
Regulatory Guidance: We ensure your facility meets OSHA wildfire smoke compliance requirements, including the review of respiratory protection programs and administrative controls.
Post-Event Air Quality Clearance Monitoring
Validation: Once smoke clears, we provide testing to verify that indoor air quality has returned to baseline levels before resuming normal operations.

Combustion Byproducts Consulting Services
Combustion processes—from boilers to heavy engines—release a complex mixture of gases and particles. G2’s consulting services help you identify, measure, and control these byproducts to maintain a healthy work environment and ensure environmental compliance.
Combustion Emissions Assessment (CO, NOx, SO₂, Particulate Matter)
Comprehensive Screening: We test for a full spectrum of byproducts, including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
Workplace Combustion Exposure Assessments
Occupational Health: Our experts evaluate worker breathing zones to ensure that exposure to engine or furnace exhaust stays well within permissible limits.
Combustion Source Evaluations (boilers, furnaces, engines)
Source Testing: We perform targeted evaluations of specific equipment—such as high-output boilers and internal combustion engines—to pinpoint emission sources.
Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides Exposure Testing for Facilities
Targeted Gas Monitoring: Using calibrated instrumentation, we provide precise measurements of the most common and dangerous combustion gases.
Combustion-Related Particulate Matter and Air Sampling
Particle Characterization: We sample for soot and other combustion-related particulates that can cause long-term respiratory issues.
Combustion Emissions Compliance Monitoring and Reporting
Detailed Documentation: G2 provides the formal reporting necessary for internal safety audits and external regulatory submissions.

Wildfire Smoke and Combustion Byproducts Exposure Assessment Process
G2 utilizes a systematic approach to ensure your facility remains safe during both acute smoke events and routine industrial operations:
- Initial Site Audit: Identifying potential entry points for smoke and primary sources of internal combustion.
- Monitoring and Sampling: Deploying state-of-the-art equipment for both short-term “grab” samples and long-term data logging.
- Data Analysis: Comparing results against OSHA, EPA, and ACGIH standards.
- Recommendations: Providing clear, prioritized steps for engineering controls, PPE, or HVAC adjustments

Wildfire Smoke and Combustion Byproducts Testing FAQs
Are employers required to protect workers from wildfire smoke?
Yes. In many jurisdictions, OSHA and state-level agencies (like Cal/OSHA or WA-L&I) have specific requirements for monitoring PM2.5 and providing protection once certain AQI thresholds are met.
How does wildfire smoke affect facilities that already have combustion exposure concerns?
Wildfire smoke can create a “double exposure” scenario, where outdoor particulates infiltrate a workspace already managing internal emissions, potentially pushing concentrations above legal exposure limits.
At what AQI level should industrial facilities take action for wildfire smoke?
While specific triggers vary by state, many regulations require action (such as providing N95 respirators) when the AQI for PM2.5 reaches 151 or higher.
What are combustion byproducts and why are they a concern in the workplace?
These are gasses (like CO and NOx) and particles produced when fuels burn. They are hazardous because they can displace oxygen or act as chemical asphyxiants and respiratory irritants.
Which combustion byproducts are regulated in industrial environments?
Common regulated byproducts include Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, and various forms of Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5).
How do combustion byproducts impact worker safety and compliance?
Excessive exposure can lead to immediate symptoms like headaches and dizziness, as well as long-term chronic illness, leading to OSHA citations and increased liability.
Can testing be performed while equipment is operating?
Yes. In fact, testing during peak operation is the best way to capture “worst-case scenario” data and ensure your ventilation systems are performing adequately.
How often should combustion byproducts be evaluated?
We recommend evaluations whenever new equipment is installed, processes change, or at least annually to ensure ongoing system efficiency and safety.
What exposure limits apply to combustion related pollutants?
G2 evaluates your levels against OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs), as well as more stringent ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for best-practice safety.
