STANDARD TESTING
Indoor air pollution is ranked by the EPA as one of the top five environmental risks to public health
AIR SAMPLING
Mold sampling is the fastest, most reliable way to determine mold problems. This testing protocol compares the types and amount of mold inside a home vs. the mold living outside which become the benchmark for comparison. These samples are taken by using a pump that forces air through a collection device which catches mold spores. The sample is then sent off to a laboratory to be analyzed.
BIO-TAPE
Bio-Tape™ provides a standardized sampling method for the determination of mold, microbial, bioaerosol, and inorganic dust contamination. It provides the ability to quickly take a sample and measure the relative degree of contamination. It is especially useful when sampling valuable or non-transportable materials and is very effective on smooth areas of concern.
SWAB TESTING
Sterile surface swabs are an easy way to sample suspect areas for mold contamination. Simply swab the suspect area and submit to a laboratory where the sample will be cultured and the type of mold identified
AIR QUALITY METERS
Air quality monitors will measure for radon, carbon dioxide, VOCs and other harmful chemicals and gases, as well as airborne dust, pollen and mold. Air quality monitors are beneficial if you have asthma, allergies, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) conditions. If you have one of these health conditions, knowing the air quality in your area is essential for preventing or treating episodes.
