Indoor Air Quality Testing

DISCOVER HOW YOU CAN STOP

YOUR HOME FROM MAKING YOU SICK

The Secret to a Healthier Home

Understanding how your indoor health is impacting you and your family is our business, but where do you start? 

 

Our experience has shown us that most homeowners assume that when they have an indoor air quality issue, mold is the culprit.  Although this can be true, it is also important to understand that most homes in Florida have mold spores throughout. Yet, just testing for mold spores does not tell you if the mold is actively growing without specifically cultivating the mold spores in a Certified Lab.  Trying to identify its source or why the contamination is happening can also not be obtained through a standard mold test.  An important question to ask is whether mold is also the only problem. A typical mold spore test does not identify hidden active growing mold within your walls. Homeowners should be aware that there are over 500 other contaminants that they should test for when they have a health concern.  Indoor Toxins produced by MVOC (Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds) and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and other indoor pollutants can negatively affect your health, damaging your body over time.

Studies from the EPA reveal that 100% of people tested have toxic

chemical exposure from within their home environment.

 

To help you navigate the process of determining if your home is toxic with mold, Microbial VOC’s, VOC and mycotoxins and to determine if you are someone who is genetically susceptible to becoming sick from the common toxins that lead to Environmental Acquired Illness. Awareness is the first step, followed by the right assessment and inspection so that you can make the right decisions going forward.

Air testing is often recommended and performed on a building however it is far too limited to capture the heavy and sticky toxins which are rarely floating around in the air. Air testing is commonly why so many homes are not identified as toxic.

Formaldehyde Off-Gassing Testing

Recently, there has been an increased growing concern nationally for formaldehyde gas being released from manufactured laminated flooring and other composite wood products. The adhesives and sealants used in many of these products may contain formaldehyde and this formaldehyde vapor can off-gas from the finished product even after it has been installed in a home.

However, recent investigations have shown that formaldehyde off-gassing can still be of a concern from some of these products. They can even be elevated above acceptable levels that they are listed as meeting. Formaldehyde gas is highly toxic and a confirmed human carcinogen. Even at lower exposure levels, formaldehyde gas can cause eye and nasal irritation, headaches and aggravate asthma conditions.

Sani Effect Environmental team can assist you with a noninvasive or bulk formaldehyde sampling. We send our samples out to an independent laboratory that will conduct the analysis and results to help you better evaluate the potential formaldehyde hazards. Results within 48 hours. We work independently to evaluate and sample your home and property. Our sampling is non-intrusive.
