(Newswire.net — April 27, 2016) Fort Myers, FL — Indoor air quality, when it is poor, contributes to infections developing such as; lung cancer and chronic lung disease like asthma. Poor air quality can cause fatigue, nausea, nasal congestion, dry eyes and headaches and people who already have a lung disease are at an even greater risk. The American Lung Association states the first line of defense against this indoor air pollution is keeping pollutants out of the air. Find out if there are pollutants in the air and make sure they are cleared out; then work on not allowing for situations where they can return. To know whether or not the air in a home, office or other inside area is polluted or not is to perform an indoor air quality test.
How is an indoor air quality test performed?
When there is a concern that the air quality in a home, office or other indoor area has been polluted there is an indoor air quality test that can be done to check for the presence of several various pollutants. It is important that the test kit would be able to detect these:
* Formaldehyde
* Aerobiology which is dead skin cells, insects, fiberglass, and fungus
* Mold
* Carbon Monoxide
* Carbon Dioxide
* Radon
* Allergen
* Pollen and dust
The indoor air quality test will detect these pollutants. The label should be checked on the kit to make sure it is capable of detecting the pollutant that is a concern. The kit should also be able to check the entire area of the structure so it is important to check the label and determine the square footage it is able to reach.
There are different types of air quality test kits on the market. There is also a large price variance in them as they can range from $50 to $1600 determined by how many pollutants they can detect. There are some that can be performed on the site they are used, others have to be mailed to a test lab to be analyzed. Some of the kits can provide results in hours and some take weeks to provide results. When dealing with poor air quality and the serious health risks it can cause some prefer to have a professional conduct the testing.
Selecting a professional indoor air quality testing
When a professional air quality testing is going to be done there are some preliminary preparations to perform:
* Make sure the consultant is appropriately trained and has the credentials necessary to perform the test.
* Know exactly what is needed. Know what needs to be tested and how soon results are needed.
* Draw up a proposal to include a time schedule, meetings if necessary and an estimate for services.
