Air Quality Sampling
Indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Create a healthier environment- Improved indoor air quality can help reduce the chance of an asthma attack, protect inhabitants from having allergic reactions and more.
At Elite Home & Mold Inspections, we provide professional air quality testing to detect mold spores and assess the overall health of your indoor environment. Using multiple air samples based on your home’s square footage, we analyze the concentration of airborne mold particles to determine if hidden mold issues exist—even when there are no visible signs of mold growth.
As modern homes and buildings are constructed with tighter building envelopes for improved energy efficiency, indoor air quality can become increasingly difficult to manage—especially in older or previously renovated structures. Our testing helps identify potential problems and provides peace of mind for homeowners across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Why Air Quality Testing is Essential
Indoor air quality often goes unnoticed, but it can be filled with pollutants like dust, mold spores, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other harmful particles. These contaminants can affect respiratory health, trigger allergies, and worsen asthma. Our air quality testing services provide a comprehensive analysis to ensure that your environment is clean, safe, and breathable.
Detect hidden hazards: You may not see mold, dust, or other pollutants, but they could still be affecting your air.
Improve health and comfort: By identifying pollutants, we help you create a healthier and more comfortable indoor space.
Comply with regulations: For homeowners or businesses, air quality testing ensures you meet health and safety guidelines.
What We Test For
Our air quality testing services cover a wide range of potential indoor air contaminants:
Particulate Matter: Dust and tiny particles that can irritate your lungs and aggravate allergies.
Mold Spores: Hidden mold can grow in damp areas and release spores into the air, posing health risks.
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds): Found in paints, cleaning supplies, and building materials, these compounds can cause long-term health effects.
Formaldehyde: A colorless, strong-smelling gas commonly found in building materials, furniture, flooring, and household products, and exposure can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as respiratory issues and long-term health effects.
Carbon Monoxide (CO): This odorless and colorless gas can be dangerous, even deadly, in high concentrations.
Radon: A naturally occurring radioactive gas that is produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It’s colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it undetectable without specialized testing. Radon can enter homes and buildings through cracks in foundations, basements, and other openings. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, after smoking.
Allergens: Pet dander, pollen, and other allergens that can exacerbate asthma and allergy symptoms.
