Indoor Quality Analysis

Indoor Health and Safety Assessment

Pollution Sources, Workplace Safety

Our Indoor Health and Safety Assessment employs advanced methods and portable gas chromatography to evaluate indoor VOCs, including the most common and dangerous pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylene glycol, acetone, methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, styrene, and trichloroethylene. We conduct both quantitative and qualitative analysis of these pollutants, ensuring a thorough understanding of your indoor environment. This comprehensive analysis helps create a safer, healthier, and more comfortable living and working environment.

Health Issues Related to Indoor VOC Pollutants:

Formaldehyde: Can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, coughing, and skin rashes. Long-term exposure may lead to cancer.
Benzene: Exposure can result in dizziness, headaches, and drowsiness. Long-term exposure is linked to leukemia.
Toluene: Short-term exposure can cause headaches, dizziness, and eye, nose, and throat irritation. Long-term exposure may affect the nervous system.
Xylene: Can cause headaches, dizziness, and respiratory issues. Prolonged exposure may lead to liver and kidney damage.
Ethylene Glycol: Inhalation can cause respiratory irritation and central nervous system effects.
Acetone: Short-term exposure can cause eye and respiratory irritation, headaches, and dizziness.
Methylene Chloride: Can cause dizziness, nausea, and respiratory irritation. Long-term exposure may lead to liver damage and cancer.
Perchloroethylene: Exposure can cause dizziness, headaches, and respiratory irritation. Long-term exposure is linked to liver and kidney damage.
Styrene: Can cause eye and respiratory irritation, headaches, and dizziness. Long-term exposure may affect the central nervous system.
Trichloroethylene: Exposure can cause dizziness, headaches, and respiratory irritation. Long-term exposure is linked to liver and kidney damage and cancer.

Common Sources of Indoor VOCs:

Building Materials: Paints, varnishes, caulks, sealants, adhesives, and flooring materials.
Household Products: Cleaners, disinfectants, air fresheners, cosmetics, and deodorants.
Furnishings: Furniture, carpets, and pressed wood products.
Office Equipment: Printers, copiers, and correction fluids.
Activities: Tobacco smoke, dry-cleaned clothing, and arts and crafts products like glues and paints.
Fuel and Combustion Products: Gasoline, diesel emissions, and wood-burning stoves.

By identifying and mitigating these sources, we can significantly improve indoor air quality and reduce health risks associated with VOC exposure.
