BASIC INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ) INSPECTION

  • Formaldehyde (HCHO) – non-destructive testing – immediate results
  • VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) including benzene, toluene
  • Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – general measure of ventilation quality
  • Carbon Monoxide (CO) – deadly gas
  • Respirable Dust Particles in PM2.5 (fine) and PM10 (coarse) size regimes
  • Oxygen Levels (where applicable)
  • HEPA Filtration, MERV rating and other air purifier efficiency metrics
  • Relative ventilation levels – critical to know in newer buildings that are built “tight” for energy efficiency

  • Ozone gas levels and hydrogen sulfide (associated with sewer gas leaks)
  • Positive / negative air pressure checks to confirm tendency for contamination

along with atmospheric factors such as:

  • Temperature
  • Relative Humidity
