Visitor numbers grow by 10% for UK's leading Air Monitoring event

Visitor numbers for this year's MCERTS air monitoring event grew by 10% in comparison with the 2007 figures. Expressing his delight with the success of the event, MCERTS organiser Dave Curtis from the Source Testing Association (STA) said, "Prior to the event we were concerned that visitor numbers might be reduced as a result of the recession, so it was very pleasing to note that delegate numbers have continued to grow."

"I think there are a number of reasons for the success of the MCERTS events. Firstly, they have become an established red letter date in the diaries of everyone involved in air monitoring because they provide an opportunity to catch up on the latest regulatory information; secondly visitors are able to view all of the latest monitoring technologies; thirdly, process operators can network with people that are facing the same challenges in their working lives and finally, the more recent emphasis on operator self-monitoring means that process operators have to have a greater understanding of the monitoring requirements.
