Additionally, the mobile environmental laboratory (MEL) is equipped with a modern complex of meteorological parameters, generators of gas mixtures, pure nitrogen, pure hydrogen, heated sampling probes, sampling bags, and filter holders.

The software of the new MEL, Ecological Software System (LLC KMP-SOFT, Moscow), is a specialized modular program complex designed to work as part of environmental monitoring systems.

At present, the mobile environmental laboratory based on the GAZelleNext vehicle has been mastered and put into operation. Trial visits to the control points in the residential area and on the border of the Company's sanitary protection zone with atmospheric air sampling were conducted. After passing the next confirmation of the accredited laboratory's competence in 2024 with the expansion of the accreditation area for this mobile facility, MEL will begin to carry out 24-hour monitoring of atmospheric air.
