Testing the presence of contaminants in the air is like walking in the dark. You won’t know these are around until you have your home or business tested. When doing air quality testing, you should always keep in mind the three major types of pollutants you wish to test.
Biological pollutants, which include allergens and dust, you can have checked by allowing Batronix Nova complete an Indoor Air Quality Test and submitting to a certified lab for analysis. Similarly, VOCs or chemical pollutants, which are highly present in furnishings, building materials, and household products.
In addition to residential and commercial air quality testing, the EPA recommends the following strategies to reduce VOC levels:
- Increase in ventilation.
- Follow product warnings and directions from household products.
- Discard unused chemicals. Only purchase when needed and in small quantities.
Carbon monoxide (CO), which is released by gas stoves, fireplaces, and space heaters, installing a CO alarm is not only recommended but required in most states.
