Indoor air quality inspection

Indoor air quality inspection (monitoring or testing or IAQ inspection) is a vital process to determine the level of contaminants present in indoor air which can affect the health and well-being of occupants.

Several scientific processes such as air sampling, testing, and analysis of the collected air samples are employed for determining indoor air quality parameters or while conducting in-depth IAQ inspections.

Indoor air quality inspection parameters can be affected by gases, particulate matters, bacteria, etc. – additionally, the air quality can be improved by utilizing air filters, controlling air sources, and appropriate ventilation systems.

It can help homes become habitable and workplaces even more workable.

Ambient/ in-plant/ indoor air quality

Indoor air quality is among a few of the growing concerns within residents and employers because of its direct impact on human health and life.

Home air quality inspection parameters are significantly influenced by the factors causing indoor air pollution such as the burning of woods, dung, charcoal for cooking purposes, including the number of members in family and pets.

In residential buildings, the indoor air quality inspection also takes humidity, temperature, air pollutants conditions, and all other parameters into account that affect the health of residents.

In the workplace, a significant number of productive man-hours are lost every year because of sickness caused due to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). On the other hand, distilled, good, healthy air quality at the office setting can exponentially increase workers’ comfort and overall productivity.

VOCs, PAHs, Formaldehyde, Mercaptans, PCBs, etc. in AAQ and source emission

  • VOCs:-
    VOC is an abbreviation for volatile organic compounds. Several kinds of products and construction materials act as the source of (VOCs) gases. Some of the chemical contaminants found in residential building materials are benzenes, xylenes, formaldehyde, methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, etc. And volatile organic compounds are responsible for causing a wide range of serious health effects.
    Due to high VOC levels, you may suffer from severe headaches, nausea, Lethargy, eye irritation, respiratory irritation, and frequent respiratory infections. An indoor/ home air quality inspection service provider can help spot the source VOC gas emitter as well as secure occupants from serious health risks.
  • Formaldehyde test:-
    Formaldehyde is a colorless chemical with a very strong odor that is similar to ammonia. The formaldehyde odors are mainly noticed after the construction work of a residential building is completed or individual homes get renovated. Glues, construction materials, paint resins, etc can act as the source of formaldehyde odor. An indoor /home air quality inspection service provider can help identify different sources.
    High levels of formaldehyde off-gassing in your surrounding can lead to severe health problems. Several occupants living in the vicinity can develop symptoms of throat irritation, eye, and skin irritation.
  • PAHs:-
    PAHs is an abbreviation for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. PAHs chemical gases are released during the inefficient burning of coal, fossil fuels, and garbage.
    Exposure to higher PAHs levels in form of breathing ambient air, over a significant length of time, can lead to serious health risks. Skin irritation, eye irritation, cardiovascular disease, breathing problems, including asthma and lung damage are a few of the long/ short-term health hazards reported by people in constant exposure to air with higher PAHs levels.
    An indoor /home air quality inspection service provider can help measure the levels of PAHs (parameter) in the air. For testing purposes, air samples are collected and analyzed with the help of high volume and low volume PUFs. Later, the testing method is tailored in accordance with respective requirements.

Dioxin and Furan monitoring in AAQ and source emission

The emission of dioxins and furans occurs due to incineration. Incineration is one of the most prominent methods of reducing the amount of waste generated.

Dioxin and furan are considered to be extremely harmful chemicals and have the potential to cause serious health problems such as cancer and reduced immunity. Frequent IAQ inspection can help monitor the Dioxin and Furan level in your surroundings.
