Identifying IAQ issues in the home

Here are some of the procedures the technician will go over with your family. 

1. Locate potential sources of indoor air pollution

Along with the client, our technician will inspect the home room by room. Most homes have more than one source that contributes to indoor air pollution:

  • Combustible items, such as oil, gas, kerosene, wood, and tobacco
  • Building materials and furnishings, such as particle board, flaking asbestos insulation, damp carpet, and upholstery

  • Household cleaners, paints and solvents, personal care products
  • Central heating and cooling systems, and humidifiers
  • Pesticides and outdoor air pollution from automobiles and factories

All areas of the home can contribute to indoor air pollution.

2. Does someone in the home have allergies or asthma?

Some health problems may indicate poor indoor air quality, especially if those problems appear after someone moves to a new residence, remodels or refurnishes a home, or treats a home with pesticides.

3. Look for ventilation problems

Condensation on windows or walls, musty or stuffy air, dirty central heating and air conditioning systems, and mold or dampness problems on items in the home may be signs of poor ventilation.

4. Measure indoor air quality

If you suspect an IAQ problem, then you can set up an AirAdvice IAQ monitor in the home. Our easy-to-use AirAdvice IAQ monitor measures the most common IAQ factors: temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, particulates, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Then you can make an informed decision based on real measurements.
