Maintaining the health of a building’s indoor environment is critical to maintaining the health, happiness and well-being of its occupants. The air in the building that occupants breathe indoors should be of high quality to ensure their comfort, health and well-being while they live and work safely, efficiently and distraction free. IAQI professionals provide clients with sophisticated and cutting-edge indoor air quality (IAQ) services and consulting, analytical sampling and testing, and risk management solutions.
Common complaints of indoor air pollutants that can directly affect occupant comfort, health and productivity and contribute to poor indoor environmental air quality, create health concerns and questions, and may lead to claims of sick building syndrome (SBS) including those from biological pollutants, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), lead (Pb), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), indoor particulate matter, legionella, asbestos, mold, and secondhand smoke. Sick building syndrome claims arise in situations where building occupants experience health effects they or their physicians link to time spent within a built environment/building without the identification of a specific illness or cause. |
There are many ways in which this generation’s childhood is different from that of previous generations, but one of the most glaring contrasts is the degree to which it is being spent indoors. “The Indoor Generation” as it has been dubbed, is the first generation where less time is spent outdoors and more time is spent in a near solitary state with screens providing ‘companionship’.
And it’s not just children who are suffering as a result of more time spent indoors; modern advances in technology means that it is far too easy for us as adults to shop online, communicate with friends, work from home and just stay inside without making any real-life social connections for hours, days, and sometimes weeks on end.
A YouGov study found that eight in 10 people spend close to 22 hours inside every day. One in six people actually admitted that they almost never go outside, and spend up to 24 hours a day indoors. Compared to previous generations when 90% of people’s jobs would be outside, these days less than a quarter of the population spend the majority of their working day outside.

For over a decade, indoor air quality inspectors have been helping with unexplained runny noses, watery eyes, and sore throat issues. Often times people look to their family physicians for explanations. They normally end up with solutions that don't remedy the underlying issues. If you receive unsuccessful prescriptions or treatments from the family physician, give us a call. Our friendly staff will listen to your concerns and dispatch an inspector to your home or place of business within 24 hours. Upon arrival, our inspector will survey the interior using the latest techniques, technology, and equipment for sampling. During this process, all necessary data will be collected. Next, the inspector will enter the interior to collect similar information. All of the data will be analyzed and put into a simple comprehensive report. This report will contain findings and suggestions for improvement of your current indoor air quality.
