Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) within (and around) buildings is a critical factor in the health and comfort of the people who live and work inside. Poor indoor air quality can cause illnesses ranging from sneezing, wheezing and irritation to profound respiratory distress and infection.
Many indoor air quality problems are invisible and odorless, making it impossible to detect without proper testing. At Eco Pacific Environmental, we can conduct air and surface samples to help you identify and resolve any potential concerns within your building.
Indoor air quality can be compromised by gas contamination (such as radon, carbon monoxide, or other volatile organic compounds), microbial contamination (such as mould or bacteria) or other known health hazards (such as asbestos). Fortunately, indoor air quality can be measured and improved.
Air quality improvement techniques include finding, eradicating or reducing the source of the contamination; filtration; and increasing ventilation in order to dilute the concentration of potential contaminants. Separate or together, these measures can improve the quality of the air – and therefore the health of the occupants – in your properties.
But the first step is to test your indoor air quality – and Eco Pacific can do that for you. We collect air samples and building surface samples and then have them tested by unbiased, third-party laboratories for pollutants and contaminants. Based on the results, we then customize and install an Indoor Air Improvement Plan for you.
