Indoor Air Quality Testing
​​
You may not realize that the air inside your home is probably more polluted than the air outside.
The U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY reports that indoor levels of many pollutants may be 25 to 100 times higher than outdoor levels. So, health problems can be caused by the very air we are breathing at home, but at other times in our offices and schools. Pollutants range from living organisms like mold and insects, to VOCs, chemicals, and gases.
AIR Environmental professionals can identify the root causes of any indoor air pollution. Our comprehensive sampling checks for radon, mold, carbon monoxide, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particles from furnaces and wood-burning fireplaces and stoves, as well as common allergens.

What Causes Poor Indoor Air Quality or IAQ?
Mold and VOCs are the two main culprits. VOCs are released from everyday items, including new carpeting, furniture, cabinets, bedding, paint, printers, adhesives, vinyl, fabrics, scented candles, air fresheners, detergents, and more.
Cities are especially susceptible to indoor air quality issues. Urban environments harbor exhaust generated by buses and other vehicles, and subways, construction, and buildings (steam pipes). Combine that with population density and you can rely on the fact that the air in your home, office, or apartment will be far from perfect. And that can seriously affect your health.
