Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM)

Accelerated levels of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) are often associated with coal mining and combustion, oil and gas production, metal mining and smelting, building and construction and related industries. Chronic exposure to NORM can cause certain forms of cancer and other health problems. NORM remediation deals with the removal of this contaminant for the general protection of human health and the environment.

Not only are there risks for professionals in these industries, but the general public can also be put at risk if the handling, storage, transportation and the use of NORM contaminated equipment or waste media without controls can lead to the spread of NORM contamination. 

ES&H can help ensure that the NORM resulting from your operations is handled and managed appropriately. We are a fully licensed NORM contractor with a supervisory staff that has more than 50 years of combined experience with NORM disposal and reduction. ES&H NORM services include confirmatory and release surveys, equipment decontamination, assistance with NORM waste handling and disposal, regulatory compliance issues and NORM training.
