Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Improve your air. improve your health, improve your life! 

We Do Indoor Air Quality Testing For Residential & Commercial buildings.

• We use state of the art equipment to assess you indoor air quality and identify the pollutants and find their sources.
• We issue a 40-60 page report of the analysis of 8 air quality parameters of each and every room in your residence or building.
• We find the source of your indoor Air Quality issues through scientific analysis.

Symptoms of Indoor Air Pollution

• We then give you a recommended solution to eliminate or remediate the problems.

Symptoms Of Indoor Air Pollution: 

• Worsening Asthma
• Worsening Allergies
• Respiratory Problems
• Headaches
• Nausea
• Shortness of Breath
• Sinus Congestion
• Sneezing
• Coughing
• Eye Irritation
• Skin Irritation
• Nose Irritation
• Throat Irritation
• Dizziness
• Fatigue

If you suffer from any of this symptoms, its a good time to check the air quality in your home!

Cleaner air benefits:

• Breath Better
• Less Headaches
• Decrease Allergen Sensitivity 
• Better Sleep
• Improve Mental Clarity 
• Protect Your Lungs, Heart and Kidneys From Disease and failure 
• Improve Your General Health.

Common Pollutants

Secondhand tobacco smoke

Secondhand smoke is tobacco smoke which affects people other than the ‘active’ smoker. Second-hand tobacco smoke includes both a gaseous and a particulate phase, with particular hazards arising from levels of carbon monoxide and very small particulates which get into the bronchioles and alveoles in the lung.

Indoor Fires

Indoor fires are a major cause of indoor air pollution and cause significant health harms. Hydrocarbon fires cause air pollution. Pollution is caused by both biomass and fossil fuels of various types, but some forms of fuels are more harmful than others. 

Radon 

Radon is an invisible, radioactive atomic gas that results from the radioactive decay of radium, which may be found in rock formations beneath buildings or in certain building materials themselves. Radon is probably the most pervasive serious hazard for indoor air in the United States and Europe, and is probably responsible for tens of thousands of deaths from lung cancer each year 

Mold and other allergens 

These biological chemicals can arise from a host of means, but there are two common classes: (a) moisture induced growth of mold colonies and (b) natural substances released into the air such as animal dander and plant pollen. Mold is always associated with moisture, and its growth can be inhibited by keeping humidity levels below 50%. Moisture buildup inside buildings may arise from water penetrating compromised areas of the building envelope or skin, from plumbing leaks, from condensation due to improper ventilation, or from ground moisture penetrating a building part 

Carbon Monoxide 

One of the most acutely toxic indoor air contaminants is carbon monoxide (CO), a colourless and odourless gas that is a by-product of incomplete combustion. Common sources of carbon monoxide are tobacco smoke, space heaters using fossil fuels, defective central heating furnaces and automobile exhaust. By depriving the brain of oxygen, high levels of carbon monoxide can lead to nausea, unconsciousness and death 

Other Bacteria

There are many bacteria of health significance found in indoor air and on indoor surfaces. The role of microbes in the indoor environment is increasingly studied using modern gene-based analysis of environmental samples. Currently efforts are under way to link microbial ecologists and indoor air scientists to forge new methods for analysis and to better interpret the results.

Asbestos Fibers 

Many common building materials used before 1975 contain asbestos, such as some floor tiles, ceiling tiles, shingles, fireproofing, heating systems, pipe wrap, taping muds, mastics, and other insulation materials. Normally, significant releases of asbestos fiber do not occur unless the building materials are disturbed, such as by cutting, sanding, drilling, or building remodelling.
