What causes Indoor Air Quality Issues?
Poor indoor air quality sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems in homes, businesses, schools and hospitals. Insufficient ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources. High temperature and humidity levels can also increase concentrations of some pollutants. Common indoor air pollutants include gas, tobacco products, building materials and furnishings, asbestos, carpet, products for household cleaning, radon, pesticides, and outdoor air pollution.

Bulk Materials Sampling: Bulk samples are collected from suspected surfaces or materials by cutting materials with a clean tool into a clean plastic bag.
Swab testing: A swab test is used for surface testing. The samples are collected by wiping a measured area with a sterilized swab. The swab is then placed in a seal tight tube and transported to the lab.
Tape Lift: A tape lift is used for surface sampling by stripping the suspect area surface with clear tape. The sample is then taped to a microscope slide and then placed in a seal tight container and transported to the lab.
