Indoor Air Quality – IAQ
IAQ or Indoor Air Quality is an important facet of the health of your home. The air you and your family breathe may be polluted by various factors that can cause
allergic reactions and respiratory issues, sometimes serious. The air in your home may be affected by VOCs ( Volatile Organic Compounds), MVOCs (Mold Volatile Organic Compounds), Formaldehyde and Particulates. Mold Testing NJ-NY is a certified IAQ Inspection and Testing service that is offered to homeowners in Bergen County NJ and a wide surrounding area in NJ and NY. We routinely inspect for the aforementioned contaminants and we report to you regarding the Indoor Air Quality of your NJ home.
Why Is An IAQ Inspection Important?
Mold Testing NJ-NY will test your air to determine whether there are pollutants present and at what level. These inspections are important because certain pollutants in the air can cause allergies and illness, which at times can be serious long-term respiratory problems.
Pollutant Definitions
VOC
Volatile Organic Compounds are gases produced by certain solids or liquids. VOCs can include a number of chemicals, some of which present short-term illness and other long-term illness. The concentration of VOCs is much greater indoors than outdoors. Since we all spend a great deal of time indoors, the likelihood of adverse affects by VOCs increases.
MVOC
MVOCs are volatile organic gases produced by actively growing mold. The level of these gases should be measured to determine whether it is high enough to warrant remediation.
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is an organic air pollutant consisting of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Formaldehyde is present outdoors, but the concentration is usually higher indoors because of the sources that produce it.
Particulates
Particulates are matter made up of a mixture of solid and liquid droplets floating in the air. Some are released from specific sources, while others form from chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Particulates in the air are a specific cause of the spread of Covid 19.
Be Pro-Active And Schedule Routine IAQ Testing
Routine IAQ Inspection and Testing alerts you to an unhealthy atmosphere in your home. Certain allergies or respiratory issues may appear mysteriously, but they are probably due to pollutants in the air. Have your indoor air tested by a certified Indoor Air Quality Testing Service such as Mold Testing NJ-NY for a professional evaluation. We can be reached at (201) 658-8881.
