Protect your workforce from asthma and sensitisation with expert Isocyanate Exposure Monitoring from Synergy Environmental Solutions.
We provide both air monitoring and biological monitoring, following HSE guidance on selecting the most reliable method depending on your processes.
Isocyanates are highly reactive chemicals used in:
Common forms include:
Isocyanates are the leading cause of occupational asthma in the UK.
Once sensitised, workers can react to extremely low levels.
Even very short-term exposure can cause:
Isocyanates are so potent that exposure must be reduced as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).
Exposure peaks can be extremely short, sampling may miss the highest-risk moment, and isocyanates can degrade before analysis — leading to underestimated results.
HSE recommends biological monitoring for spray painting and coating processes because it reflects actual absorption, including skin exposure and RPE breakthrough.
Often yes. Air monitoring shows airborne levels and control performance, while biological monitoring shows true worker exposure.
Vehicle refinishing, paint spraying, PU foam application, adhesive spraying, composite manufacturing and industrial coating.
Yes — they are one of the leading causes of occupational asthma and can cause lifelong sensitisation.
We help you understand real exposure, not just the air concentration.
Protect your workers and comply with COSHH.
