Matheson and the Environment Special gas mixtures for environmental compliance, emissions monitoring, safety and industrial hygiene. Backed by Matheson's more than 65 years of experience. The 1990 revision of the Clean Air Act places increasing restrictions on the discharge of pollutants into the atmosphere and demands more proof of compliance. Penalties for noncompliance will increase. Compliance requires verification by accepted analytical procedures. Analytical data is acceptable only if instrumentation is calibrated with reliable standards. Questionable quality of calibration mixtures is intolerable. Accuracy and consistency must be assumed and verified. Matheson, the world leader in specialty gases, has successfully prepared accurate calibration gas mixtures of every variety for over 65 years. With greater emphasis on pollution abatement and more demanding compliance requirements, analytical reliability becomes increasingly critical. Matheson's experience is your guarantee that the calibration mixture you receive will meet the requirement. If you are involved with compliance testing, air quality monitoring or industrial hygiene - insist on reliability and consistency. Insist on Matheson.
