Types of Air Quality Testing

The air we breathe is essential for life, but what if it's harboring unseen threats? Indoor air pollution can significantly impact our health, causing everything from respiratory irritation to headaches and fatigue. At GEO Environmental Co., Inc., we're passionate about safeguarding your indoor environment. Today, we'll delve into the world of air quality testing, exploring the different types available to help you breathe easily.

Why Test Your Indoor Air Quality?

Traditional signs of poor air quality, like dust or mold, are sometimes easy to spot. However, many pollutants can linger undetected. Testing offers a proactive approach, allowing you to identify potential hazards before they cause harm.

Knowing Your Options: Common Air Quality Tests

There are various air quality tests available, each targeting specific pollutants. Here's a breakdown of some of the most common:

• Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Testing: VOCs are a vast group of chemicals emitted from paints, cleaning products, and building materials. VOC testing helps identify these and assess potential health risks.

• Mold Testing: Mold growth can trigger respiratory problems and allergies. Mold testing determines if mold is present and identifies the specific types for effective remediation.

• Radon Testing: Radon is a radioactive gas that can seep into homes from the soil. Radon testing is crucial, as long-term exposure increases the risk of lung cancer.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) Testing: CO is an odorless, colorless gas produced by faulty appliances or fireplaces. CO testing detects its presence, preventing potential carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Combustion Byproduct Testing:  This test identifies pollutants like nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide produced by fuel-burning appliances.
