When suspicious black materials are deposited onto surfaces of cars, houses, and windows in a residential neighborhood, there are always questions of what it is, where did it come from, and who is responsible. In the worst case scenario, these black materials could be fugitive emissions which can potentially lead to a lawsuit. MVA Scientific Consultants works with both plaintiffs and defendants to provide scientific evidence to support fugitive emission lawsuit cases. We can identify the primary components in deposited material, whether it's soot, fungus, plant fragments, soil, minerals, or carbon black. In the case of ash and other unique materials, we can potentially identify and trace their origins.
