Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality in buildings and structures, particularly as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants.  Many people find themselves at risk for health problems arising from exposure to mold, allergens, radon, or other environmental hazards that threaten clean air quality.

What Can Effect the Air Quality in Your Home?

 

Testing for Mold

Mold is literally a growing concern. National media attention has alerted the public to the destructive and possibly toxic dangers of hidden mold spores that could affect their family’s health and their homes. EPA studies indicate that air levels of indoor pollutants may be two to three times higher than outdoor levels. Mold, the most dangerous offender of all, often goes undetected because of its invisibility. Most people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors and are not aware of the health hazards created by this pollutant. You owe it to yourself to minimize exposure to mold spores in the indoor environment. Test for mold today.
