Why Have Air Quality Testing

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a term that characterizes the condition of the air inside a building. Air Quality plays a critical role in the comfort of any indoor environment and has a potentially significant impact on occupants health and wellness. People may suffer from dry skin, allergies, asthma, respiratory issues, and other health concerns due to the poor air quality of a home, business, or building.

Symptoms of Poor Air Quality

Poor indoor air quality can create symptoms including dizziness, lightheadedness, eye and skin irritation, congestion, coughing, sneezing, and lethargy. Poor air quality is especially dangerous for individuals with asthma or other respiratory illnesses. The harmful contaminants that may be present in the air can be dangerous for your friends, family, and coworkers. We offer our clients air quality testing, and detection services. Safeguard the health of individuals around you with reliable air quality testing services from us.

Are You at Risk?

Air quality testing can be both reactive and proactive. It can be valuable when trying to improve indoor air quality, but can also be of value for those who intend to buy or sell a property. For homeowners and business owners dealing with poor indoor air quality, professional air quality testing in the Orillia and local area can isolate the cause and extent of a specific problem.

Reasons for poor indoor air quality in your home or building

Decreased air quality in the home can occur for a number of reasons and even every day fixtures and contaminates from household products can greatly affect the health of the occupants. Some typical pollutants found are:

  • Carbon Dioxide
  • Dust and Offset Gasses
  • Dust Mites
  • Bacteria and Airborne Spores
  • Ozone from aerosol cans

Recent studies are showing that families are spending more time in their homes now than ever before. Furthermore, the air indoors can often be more contaminated than the air we breathe outside. This is why so many homeowners are now choosing to conduct professional air quality testing. Don’t trust the air you breathe to just anyone. The health and wellness of your family is invaluable, so choose to work with professionals who are experienced, knowledgeable and accredited. Above all, you need to work with experts who are sensitive to your needs and your budget. Look no further!

Visual Air Quality Inspection

Here are just a few of the many visual clues we are looking for:Air-Quality-&-Asbestos-Testing

  • Water stains on the ceiling or walls.
  • Condensation on the windows.
  • Signs of mold or mildew growth.
  • Salt deposits on exterior bricks.
  • Leaks or pooling water on the roof.
  • Plumbing leaks.
  • Combustion appliances properly vented.

 

Mould – Health Hazard in Homes

The biggest problem in every home is controlling and removing moisture that occurs in the average home.  Excess humidity and lack of proper ventilation can provide the perfect conditions for mould growth.  Mould spores are all around us and just waiting for the right environmental conditions to start producing spores and contaminating your home.  The resulting release of airborne bacteria and mould spores will begin attacking the occupants of the home by causing allergic reactions and respiratory issues.  Flue like symptoms and fatigue are the most common signs of Air Quality issues.

Home air quality issues can often be traced undetected mould growth. Mold is an organic fungus that can fester and develop in areas with poor air circulation and high humidity. Mould can continue to grow and take over walls, fixtures, wood components and even carpets releasing a constant stream of harmful mold spores and bacteria into the airflow within the residence. Mouldy air will create unpleasant odors and short term health issues such as:

  • Allergic type reactions and respiratory problems
  • Reduced energy and drowsiness
  • Headaches and improper sleep patterns
  • Long term health effects such as respiratory disease

Your Health is Dictated by what you breathe…

The image above shows common indoor dust particles that make up the air that you breathe.  It also shows what could be contained in the settled dust in a typical home, office or indoor space.  Many of the larger particles of 5 microns or larger usually settle out on surfaces and can be caught by most common air filters and pleated furnace filters.  However, many allergens and pathogens that are smaller than 2.5 microns in size can be inhaled deep into your respiratory system and lead to serious sinus and respiratory diseases.
