We sample the air in key living spaces such as family rooms, living rooms, kitchens, and dining rooms.
Included in Your Package
Elevated Mold Levels
We collect up to two indoor air samples from the primary living areas of your home. These samples are analyzed by our accredited laboratory partner, and you’ll receive a detailed report—usually within three business days—outlining any elevated spore concentrations or species of concern.
Carbon Monoxide
This test determines whether your home’s or business’s fuel-burning appliances are releasing harmful levels of carbon monoxide. Because CO is colorless and odorless, exposure can be dangerous without detection. It reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen, leading to fatigue, dizziness, and more serious health effects. Proactive testing ensures your family’s safety and can prevent life-threatening conditions.
Volatile Organic Compounds
VOCs are gases emitted from certain solids or liquids, including building materials, furnishings, cleaning products, and paints. Indoor VOC concentrations can be up to ten times higher than outdoors and are linked to both short- and long-term health effects. Identifying elevated VOC levels helps you pinpoint sources and take action to improve air quality.
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a chemical commonly used in manufactured building materials such as pressed wood products, plywood, insulation, carpeting, and adhesives. It can also be released through combustion sources like gas stoves and fireplaces. Prolonged exposure may cause respiratory irritation or more serious health effects. Our testing detects and quantifies formaldehyde concentrations so you can make informed decisions about mitigation.
Particulate Matter
Particulate Matter—often called particle pollution—consists of a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in the air. These particles can include dust, soot, smoke, and other fine materials.
- PM10 refers to inhalable particles with diameters generally 10 micrometers or smaller.
- PM2.5 refers to finer particles 2.5 micrometers and smaller—roughly 1/30 the width of a human hair.
Because many of these particles are too small to be seen with the naked eye, they can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, posing health risks over time. Our testing measures these pollutants to help assess indoor air quality and potential health concerns.
General Air Quality Summary
Based on the findings for Formaldehyde (HCHO), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and Particulate Matter (PM10/PM2.5), a General Air Quality Score will be established for your home.
All results are presented in a custom report specific to your property, complete with clear explanations and recommendations for improving your indoor environment as needed.
