Sullivan Environmental has participated in over 60 agricultural Flux Studies over the past 16 years and can conduct research according to GLP standards and the standard operating procedures of Sullivan Environmental. We maintain 46 solar powered air sampling stations that can allow for continuous running of air sampling pumps. We also have a substantial inventory of sonic anemometer sensors and various additional meteorological equipment and air sampling equipment that is deployed to the field study, as needed.

Typically, an agricultural flux study is designed to assess flux of fumigant(s) as they enter the air for a period of approximately seven to 14 days following fumigation. For instance, in a study of three different tarps or fumigant application methods, Sullivan Environmental established meteorological equipment on three fields and monitored the emissions continuously for the predetermined study length. As of 2016, we have significantly upgraded our flux study field equipment inventory and can provide flux studies of fumigants or other surface-based emissions anywhere in the United States.
