Locating Potential Hazards In Your Home
The quality of the air you breathe in your home or office has often occupied national media attention in recent years, and for a good reason. For some people who suffer from allergies, poor quality or contaminated air may trigger asthmatic episodes. In fact people who never had asthmatic symptoms are sometimes finding the air they are breathing is the cause of this new ailment. The air you breathe inside your home or office should not make you sick and the condition is preventable by identifying the contaminants and their causes. Air Sampling is therefore the first step in solving the causes of poor air quality.
The contaminants we test for vary and depend on the environment we find in your home or offices. Mould is the number one cause for triggering allergies for some people and symptoms may include nausea, stuffiness, and eye irritation. More severe reactions for people with severe allergies may include fever and a shortness of breath.
Additional conditions we look for are poor air circulation inside your home, especially if it has been built within the last ten years. Higher than normal levels of carbon dioxide can also produce symptoms such as shortness of breath and nausea all because there is a lack of outside air entering your home.

To begin with, what is required to evaluate the air you breathe is called an "INDOOR AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT (IAQA)". It could include a simple laboratory report of the degree of contamination of an area inside of your residence or place of work.
How detailed a report is will depend on the number of tests performed. And the number of tests usually equates to the amount that is budgeted for this step of the evaluation. "PRICING" is provided on our site. An example of an IAQA can be found in "FORMS" The second component of an IAQA is a written protocol to be used to remove those contaminates. Professionals that do the removal are called a "MOULD REMEDIATION or an ASBESTOS ABATEMENT" company. They follow precise protocols that we have in the "INFO" section of this site.

Is it MOULD or MOLD? The American way to spell this word is Mold. The British on the other hand spell it Mould. Most countries originally settled by the British have retained their way of spelling written words. In Canada it is mostly referred to as mould and that is the way we have spelled it in our Air Detectives Web Site.
