About Ecostandart

Ecostandart was created in 1997, initially on the basis of the geography, chemistry and biological faculties of Moscow State University and later as an independent organisation. The company carries out environmental assessments of apartments, offices, industrial enterprises, land plots and country houses. It makes recommendations and suggests possible solutions for any problems revealed.

What ecological standards do we use?

We use the following standards:

• SanPin
• WHO (World Health Organisation)
• American College of Allergists (ACA)
• UNSCEAR (United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation)
• European Economic Community

Our laboratories

All the laboratories that we work with are accredited and state-approved.

Chemical analyses of air, soil, water, building materials, furniture and foodstuffs are carried out at the analytical centre of the chemistry faculty at Moscow State University.

Bacteriological analyses of air, water, soil and samples from various surfaces are carried out in the Gamaleya research institute.

The measurement of noise and vibration levels are carried out by the analytical centre of the physics faculty at Moscow State University.

The equipment used to measure electromagnetic fields and radiation levels is certified and state-approved.

Case studies

• One family came to us after having bought expensive Spanish furniture two months previously and then noticing an unnatural smell in the room where it stood. The furniture did have a environmental safety certificate. We carried out a complete chemical analysis of the air and found that the level of phenol and aromatic hydrocarbons was four times higher than the acceptable limit. The family returned the furniture to the shop from which they had bought it. Within a couple of days a manager from the shop contacted us asking for a copy of our findings.
• While examining a country house on the Rublyovo-Uspenskoye highway, we discovered a dangerous situation in the children's bedroom. Our experts found an overall microbe count of 230 KOE (the norm is less than 100), a conditionally pathogenic bacteria count of 57 KOE (none should be present) and mould fungi. As a result, the family decided to move their child's bedroom and have the house and its ventilation system disinfected.
• One client asked us to carry out a full environmental assessment of an apartment that she had bought in a Stalin building on Leninsky Prospect. We discovered that the level of electromagnetic radiation was 10—12 times higher than the norm due to a transformer in the basement. As a result, she sold the flat.
