Indoor air quality assessment
Poor indoor air quality is associated with a range of health effects, from headaches and respiratory irritation to more serious conditions with prolonged exposure. An IAQ assessment gives you an objective picture of your indoor environment and identifies the contaminants that warrant intervention.
Sampling is led by a MAIOH-qualified occupational hygienist using calibrated direct-reading instruments and validated sampling media. Mould spore samples are processed in our own laboratory; volatile and particulate analytical chemistry is routed through IANZ-accredited partner laboratories.
What we test
- Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC + speciation where relevant)
- Inhalable and respirable particulates (PM2.5, PM10)
- Mould spores — airborne fungal concentrations and genus identification
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) — indicator of ventilation adequacy
- Relative humidity and temperature trends
- Carbon monoxide (CO) where combustion sources are present
Combined mould + IAQ assessments
Where mould concerns exist alongside broader air quality questions, we conduct a combined assessment and produce a single comprehensive report. Mould samples run in our own laboratory; IAQ chemistry routes through IANZ-accredited partners. Combining the two saves time and gives better context for remediation decisions.
