INDOOR AIR QUALITY TESTING
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is an emerging concern to homeowners, building owners, operators, managers, and tenants. The poor indoor quality or "Sick Building Syndrome" can result in decreased worker productivity, higher insurance costs, lawsuits, forced evacuation or downtime, and broken or strained lease agreements. IAQ problems may be caused by numerous factors including:
- Deteriorated asbestos-containing insulation,
- Formaldehyde and other chemicals,
- Inorganic Gases,
- Inefficient HVAC Systems,
- Microorganisms,
- Radon,
- Mold Fungal Spores,
- Volatile organic chemicals such as cooking or heating fuels, propellants, pesticides, cleansers, solvents, paints, varnishes, waxes, glues, and many more others,
- Water Intrusions.
Understanding and controlling common pollutants indoors can help reduce your risk of indoor health concerns in both residential and commercial settings.
Some people may be more susceptible to changes in indoor air quality and other impacts, Including:
- Children,
- Pregnant Women,
- Older adults, and
- Individuals with pre-existing medical conditions
