What is Involved in Indoor Air Testing in Panama City Beach?
Contaminants are always in the air. Most often, you think of them as being in the air outside, yet there are many indoor sources of contaminants that can make the air poor. VOC sources can be pets, mold, consumer products, and even construction materials. Poor ventilation can add to the problem of bad indoor air. When the weather turns cooler, problems arise due to keeping windows and doors closed to conserve heat.
VOC testing takes a two-hour air sample. One test will cover approximately 2000 square feet of living space. Our results are tested by an independent laboratory that will identify all VOCs present that may be affecting your air quality. There is also special testing for formaldehyde available.
VOCs are organic chemicals that have a higher vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. This means that these types of gases and chemicals are easily dispersed into the air inside. Some VOCs are dangerous to your health, and to the environment, and will always negatively affect the air quality in your Panama City Beach home or business.
Indoor air quality has become a bigger issue these days since most homes or businesses have air being filtered that has been cooled or heated. Rarely do people live with open windows anymore. While newly constructed buildings in the area are more airtight and more energy-efficient, there is still the issue of VOC levels.
Panama City Beach Volatile Organic Compounds Sources
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), these are the most common sources of indoor air contaminants are:
- Carpets and fabrics which cause dust mites
