Indoor Air Quality & Mold Testing

IAQ is the air quality within and around buildings and structures. IAQ is known to affect the health, comfort, and well-being of building occupants. Poor indoor air quality has been linked to sick building syndrome, reduced productivity, and impaired learning. IAQ can be affected by gases, particulates, microbial contaminants, mold, pollen, insect parts, dust mites, skin cell fragments, plant fragments, dust, fibers, combustion emissions, or any stressor that can induce adverse health conditions. IAQ testing involves the collection of air samples, and spot samples on the building’s surfaces (if there is any area in question). This service includes three samples: an outdoor control sample, indoor sample, and another indoor sample in a different location of the home or swab sample of an area of concern. If there are multiple areas of concern additional samples can be taken at a per sample fee.
