Indoor air pollution is one risk that you can avoid if you are informed. An IAQ Home Survey™ test can give you the peace of mind and put you on the path to a healthier home.

Maintaining good indoor air quality is important for your health. According to the EPA, indoor air quality poses a greater health hazard than outdoor air pollution, with pollutant levels averaging 2 to 5 times higher than outside air. And with people now spending about 90% of their time indoors, exposure to these air pollutants has never been more significant.

Products and materials present in our homes constantly emit chemicals called VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) into the air. The slightest elevation and humidity can cause mold to grow anywhere in the home – often in places that go undetected, like behind walls or under carpeting. Exposure to VOCs and growing mold can cause a number of health issues, from headaches to respiratory irritation to asthma exacerbation. Your health could depend on knowing exactly what’s in the air you breathe every day.
