An air quality test, for your health!
Scientific literature indicates that combined exposure to mold and indoor humidity can cause exacerbation of asthma symptoms. In addition, molds are known to cause symptoms of type II allergy. It is important to make sure that the air you breathe every day does not contain fungal contaminants which can be harmful to your health!
You can consult the page effects on health to find out more, or make an appointment with one of our experts for a free consultation on your situation.
How is an air quality test done?
Mold spores are known, depending on the concentrations, to cause health effects whether dead or alive. Spore traps help determine the types of mold and the concentrations detected in indoor air. In order to establish whether the air is contaminated, a reference sample (usually outside) must also be taken in order to make comparisons.
It is possible to take air samples to assess only molds cultivable to the genus or to the species. This type of sample is frequently used in the pharmaceutical industry or to compare the species of mold present on a surface vs. those present in the air.

Air quality test: where to start?
Depending on the situation, several air tests may be required to assess the migration of contamination, for example from the basement to the ground floor. In order to determine whether the presence of mold in the air or on surfaces is normal, it is necessary to carry out a complete expertise including a visual inspection, humidity measurements as well as air and surface samples in order to have a complete picture of the situation and give an appropriate interpretation of the results.
