We specialize in serving government clients, large offices, and stratas, ensuring all occupants are protected from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the resulting sick building syndrome. Having your air quality tested regularly is critical for the health of occupants as indoor air holds a higher concentration of VOCs than outdoor air, especially in new buildings. Materials such as plywood, glues, foam insulation, and fabrics can all release VOCs. Additionally, products such as perfumes, cleaning supplies, paints, and even copying and printing machines can release harmful VOCs into your indoor air. Poor ventilation systems and dirty ducts add to the risk.

Common symptoms from exposure can include: irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, skin problems, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and in higher concentrations irritation and damage to the lungs, liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. In some cases, cancer has been reported from exposure to VOCs, but these health effects all depend on concentration and length of exposure. Some individuals are more sensitive such as those with asthma. Our Indoor Air Quality testing assesses your air quality and prepares a full report on the findings.
