Common IAQ and Mold Problems and ESMCorp Test Parameters
Mold Testing – Many Individuals request testing for indoor air quality problems due to mold spores from elevated humidity or flood and water-damage-associated mold contamination. The staff at ESMCorp are highly qualified to determine whether airborne mold levels are within their normal ranges, or if HVAC adjustments or more intensive remediation is necessary.
Odor Investigations – Unusual odors may indicate the presence of air toxins or chemical hazards. The experts at ESMCorp are experienced at conducting odor investigations in offices, hospitals and homes.
Carbon Dioxide & Fresh Air Supply – Adequate introduction of clean outdoor air is essential for good air quality and reduction of risk from infection in buildings. Insufficient outdoor air increases air quality risks from other factors. When fresh air introduction is optimized, accumulations of other contaminants may be reduced. The experts at ESMCorp measure fresh air directly from HVAC systems or may use carbon dioxide to determine HVAC fresh air introduction performance.
Volatile Organic Compounds, Formaldehyde Carbon Monoxide & Chemical Contaminants – Volatile Organic Compounds are vapors sometimes released from cleaning supplies, hand sanitizers, building furnishings, or industrial and manufacturing processes. We utilize the latest technologies for measuring VOC’s, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde in real time using scientific instruments, or through air sampling with laboratory analysis.
Temperature and Humidity – A building’s indoor temperature and humidity impacts indoor air quality and occupancy comfort. Extremely dry conditions result in irritation. Excessive humidity can promote the growth of mold within air handlers and on surfaces. Thermostat settings in buildings can also impact humidity, thermal comfort, airborne mold levels, and in some cases, fresh air supply. ESMCorp considers these factors as part of our air quality assessment services.
Dusts and Allergens – There are many types of dusts and allergens including pollen, animal parts, plant parts, and inorganic materials. Some chemical compounds including metals, isocyanate, aldehyde may cause or exacerbate allergies.
