As an extension of Air Compliance Testing's expertise in air monitoring, we have significant capabilities in evaluating indoor air quality. Through personnel exposure assessments and material/product off-gassing studies, we assist clients in evaluating their workplace and indoor air issues.

Indoor air quality problems are often caused by indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough fresh outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying indoor pollutants out of the building. High temperature and humidity levels can also increase concentrations of some of these pollutants.

Our capabilities for indoor air area sampling and analysis for contaminants includes real-time monitoring for a variety of parameters, including dust, relative humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and oxygen. We can also sample for ozone, trace metals, asbestos, volatile organics, and microbiological contaminants (e.g. mold and bioaerosols).

Many indoor air quality problems are not difficult to correct and can be solved with in-house expertise. However, gathering relevant information about the problem and identifying appropriate corrective actions is likely to require a coordinated effort by people with a variety of skills. Indoor air quality in a large building is the product of multiple influences, and attempts to bring problems under control do not always produce the expected result. Indoor air quality problems can be complex and may require the assistance of outside professionals. Air Compliance Testing applies the guidelines developed by EPA and NIOSH to help you resolve your indoor air quality concerns quickly and efficiently.

We can also perform off-gassing chamber studies to quantify the release of volatile compounds from building materials, furniture and new products under development by manufacturers, and building ventilation studies and consulting services.
