“At first glance, Ginger LECES is a technical inspection firm specialising in air analysis for monitoring atmospheric emissions, ambient air quality and the exposure of workers to chemicals.
But we are more than just an inspection firm that assesses regulatory compliance. Our aim is to help our clients deal with environmental issues such as the inevitable reduction in limit values, which requires changes to be made to industrial sites, and the development of new, more efficient measurement methods. New compounds also need to be quantified through the development of innovative analytical techniques.
Building on its experience, technical expertise and the commitment of its teams, Ginger LECES has evolved from a technical inspection firm into a consulting firm capable of meeting the air quality challenges of tomorrow."
