We ensure full compliance with EPA, DTSC, and OSHA regulations, minimizing liability and protecting both your team and your property.
California hospitals must adhere to strict regulations for managing hazardous waste, which includes biohazardous, chemotherapeutic, and pharmaceutical waste, as outlined in the state's Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA) as well as RCRA pharmaceuticals and other hazardous waste streams. These facilities are legally responsible for their waste from the point of generation to final disposal, a concept known as "cradle to grave" responsibility, and face significant penalties for non-compliance.
At Atlas Environmental Solutions, Inc., we are covered--So you are covered. We carry all major permits needed to operate a top level hazardous waste removal and disposal business in California.

Environmental site remediation/soil remediation
Tank cleanup and removal
Common Site Remediation Methods:
Excavation & Off-Site Disposal (dig and haul)
Soil Washing (removes contaminants from soil particles)
Stabilization & Solidification (immobilizes contaminants)
Capping & Containment (isolates contamination in place)
Bioremediation (microbes break down pollutants)
Phytoremediation (plants absorb or break down contaminants)
Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) (removes volatile contaminants from soil)
Air Sparging (injects air into groundwater to volatilize contaminants)
Pump and Treat (pumps groundwater, treats it, reinjects or discharges)
Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRBs) (groundwater passes through walls that neutralize contaminants)
Chemical Oxidation / Reduction (injects reagents to destroy pollutants)
Thermal Treatment (uses heat to volatilize or destroy contaminants)
Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) (relying on natural processes with monitoring)
Atlas not only offers identification, classification, and monitoring, but also site contamination remediation. In addition to the areas listed below, Atlas also offers incineration services for hazardous and bio-hazardous waste, demolition services, confined space entry, and emergency 24-hour response. See below for Atlas’s most common areas of site contamination remediation:
Soil and Storage Tanks
Remediating contaminated soil and decommissioning above and underground storage tanks can be one of the most difficult environmental tasks a facility can face. Tanks often degrade and leak over time and hazardous materials do not often move uniformly or predictable through soil.
Utilizing the expertise of experienced remediation teams and geologists, Atlas offers the safest and most compliant solutions for removing tanks and remediating soil while maintaining the lowest costs possible. We are happy to communicate on your behalf with any regulatory agency throughout the process, and will ensure all the necessary requirements are met.

At any given time, there are thousands of particulates in the air that we breathe. Most of them are benign and harmless, but there are several hazardous materials that when introduced into the air of our environment can cause irreparable harm.
To ensure that the environments we are exposed to at our homes and work are not hazardous, Atlas offers the latest and most efficient air monitoring solutions available. Below are the most common types of air monitoring Atlas provides:
Mold/Bacteria
Mycotoxins and bacteria in the environment can cause a large range of negative affects to the human body and once identified should be limited or eliminated if possible. Unlike most hazards, mold and bacteria are living organisms that thrive in everyday environments that people reside and work in. Utilizing physical investigations, moisture monitoring, air sampling, and spore trap analysis we are able to create a picture of the microbial activity in your environment and recommend appropriate action.
Asbestos
For years asbestos was considered a wonder material for its strength and fire resistance and used in everything from insulation to brake pads. While not inherently toxic, it causes irreversible damage to your lungs and digestive system when introduced to your body including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and digestive system cancers. Identifying asbestos-containing materials, especially airborne particulates, is extremely important in ensuring an environment is safe to occupy. We utilize certified asbestos consultants to identify possible asbestos-containing materials and test those materials for the presence of the carcinogen.
Medical Gases
The medical field requires several gases and chemicals to perform procedures including nitrogen, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, and anesthetic gases. Regularly testing the exposure levels of these gases to employees throughout their tasks is essential to ensuring a safe and healthy work environment. This is why Atlas utilizes industrial hygienists to design, execute, and interpret testing protocols in accordance with all applicable regulations.
