Air Quality Survey
Air Quality Surveys are utilized to investigate unknown potential dangers within a space. The testing may include multiple samples for chemicals such as formaldehyde, gases, volatile organic compounds, mold and more
Environmental Consultants Conducting Indoor Air Quality Assessments
The study of indoor air quality is a relatively new phenomenon and is gaining importance as more is known about how outdoor air pollution affects the human condition. Indoor air quality has a significant effect as most people spend more time indoors than outdoors. This is a complex study because of the numerous variables that enter into the equation.
Adverse indoor air conditions can cause health issues and impact productivity and increase building maintenance costs.
Our Process
-
H2H Indoor Air Solutions conducts a thorough analysis of the home or business. Our detailed process entails several important steps.
First, we conduct interviews to understand the situation, then we:
1. Conduct a walk-through inspection looking for sources of contamination, such as photocopiers, insulation and cleaning materials, and signs of
moisture intrusion. -
2. Take measurement of temperature, humidity, air movement and other comfort parameters.
-
3. Utilize thermal imaging when appropriate to detect abnormalities.
-
4. Once we have a basic understanding of potential issues, we perform specific tests as appropriate which could include:
-
Test for excessive airborne particles
-
Examine the ventilation system for causes of poor distribution and potential toxins in the ducts.
-
Measure carbon dioxide on site to assess the ventilation efficiency
-
Sample for laboratory analyses of:
-
Formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, ozone
-
Combustible gases
-
Mycotoxins from mold
-
Volatile organic compounds
-
-
-
After lab results are returned we analyze the findings and prepare our report. If remediation is warranted, we prepare a protocol to guide the remediation process.
-
After remediation is complete, upon request, we will return to assure the problem has been cleaned properly.
