Q: What is tested?

PM10 – Coarse dust particles. Particles between 2.5 and 10 micrometers in diameter are referred to as “coarse.” Sources of coarse particles include mold spores, pollen, dust mites, insect parts,crushing or grinding operations, and dust stirred up by vehicles traveling on roads.
PM2.5 – Fine particles (PM2.5). Particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter are called “fine” particles. These particles are so small they can be detected only with an electron microscope. Sources of fine particles include all types of combustion, including motor vehicles, power plants, residential wood burning, forest fires, agricultural burning, and some industrial processes.

Q: Why test?

Many people don’t realize that their health symptoms could be linked to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). As a result, they may experience headaches, coughing, muscle pain, upper respiratory issues, and other unexplained illnesses that even their doctor can’t diagnose.

When someone suspects their illness may be linked to a building-related issue, they contact us. We identify the presence of common contaminants, pinpoint the source, and provide recommendations for improvements.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) investigations and testing are highly recommended by organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the American Lung Association, state health departments, and many others.

Q: What happens during the testing?

Air testing takes a relatively short amount of time. Once the testing is complete, we’ll provide you with a preliminary verbal report. However, the data needs to be analyzed back at our office. A final report will be emailed to you, typically within hours- a few days.

Q: What type of health symptoms are caused by poor indoor air quality?

Symptoms of poor indoor air quality can include a runny, irritated, or stuffy nose; irritated eyes; hearing loss; a cough, phlegm, or sore throat; headaches or eye pressure; muscle pain or soreness; lethargy or loss of energy; wheezing or chest heaviness; sinus and hay fever-like symptoms; diarrhea and nausea; cancer; asthma and allergies; shortness of breath; cognitive problems; autoimmune conditions; cardiac issues or stroke; dizziness or vertigo, and more.

Q: I’m the only one that seems to have problems. Am I going crazy?

No, in most cases, only one individual experiences signs of illness. This is because sensitivity to contaminants varies from person to person—what affects one individual may not affect another. It just so happens that the contaminant you’re particularly sensitive to is the one present in your building.

Q: I’ve been to the doctor, but they don’t know what the problem is. Can you still help?

Many general physicians don’t specialize in environmental causes, but once they understand what the contaminant is, they can be better equipped to help out. There also are doctors that do have this specialization of environmental medicine that you may want to see.

Q: What type of payments do you take?

We take credit cards, cash, or checks. Payment is at time of the service.

Additional Information:

Choosing the Right Inspector

The first question that needs to be answered, is who is qualified to do indoor air quality testing.

The inspector must be properly licensed in fields that require it, such as asbestos, lead (metal), and mold. If your inspector lacks these licenses, it’s a clear sign you should consider looking elsewhere.
Many air-conditioning companies advertise indoor air quality services, but they often lack the proper measuring equipment for a thorough inspection. Additionally, they can be biased, as their goal is to sell you their products. Installing their recommended equipment may not address the root cause of the issue in many cases.
Air duct cleaning companies often claim to be indoor air quality professionals, but the problem is that the EPA states it doesn’t provide significant benefits for improving air quality.
Last on the list is mold inspectors. They seem to think that testing the air for mold is indoor air quality testing. It’s not. It’s mold air testing according to the state of Texas.

The IAQ Process

The first question we try to answer is; Is my indoor air more polluted than the outdoor air?

To answer this question, we conduct around 60 to 70 air tests throughout the home or office. We compare the air quality inside to the outside and also compare one room to another to identify any discrepancies.

You will be asked about any health symptoms you or others have been experiencing. Additionally, a visual assessment will be conducted, as the inspector’s eyes are often one of the best tools for identifying potential issues.

We assess whether someone falls into a sensitive group, which includes individuals with allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, or those who are very young or elderly. People with COPD, cancer, HIV, lung damage, or other immune deficiencies would be classified in the highly sensitive group.

When the testing is completed, the inspector will give you a preliminary verbal report before leaving. The inspector will need to do some research and enter measurement into a computer, before the final written report is issued. The research and computer work is where most of the time is spent. Within 48 hours, you should receive your final report via email. If samples were sent off to the laboratory, then 48 hours after we receive the results.

Before the Testing

When preparing for an indoor air quality test, many people try to clean up the area beforehand. However, this is the exact opposite of what should be done. The testing needs to take place in a normal, livable condition. Cleaning, dusting, or spraying air freshener can alter the results and provide inaccurate readings.

48 hours before the test, all windows and exterior doors should remain shut, including the garage door. It is fine to walk (drive) in and out through the exterior door, just don’t leave them open. If possible, no showers, no oven or stove top use 4 hours before the testing. If not possible, be sure to let the inspector know of any cooking and/or showering that has taken place.
