Indoor Air Quality
The presence of airborne fungal spores or poor indoor air quality are causes of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) which encompasses acute adverse health effects experienced by building occupants in work and residential settings. Additionally, these issues can lead to reduced productivity in a workplace setting as well as potential costly litigation.
Our staff is well versed in implementing the proper protocol when identifying potential indoor air quality issues, which includes:
- Interviewing building occupants to document complaints and reported symptoms
- Visual investigation and documentation of potential indoor air quality causes
- Collection of air samples for laboratory analysis of fungal spore concentrations
- Air sampling utilizing direct-read instruments for the identification of harmful gases
- Review and inspection of ventilation systems and their efficacy
In addition to identifying potential sources of poor indoor air quality, such as visible mold growth within concealed spaces, we also provide our clients with recommendations and measure to be implemented in order to address the identified concerns.
We adhere to strict record-keeping requirements for all facets of our work so our clients have complete documentation of all the corrective measures and steps taken in order to address the concerns of building occupants.
