Indoor Air Quality Testing

“You can’t fix what you don’t measure”

These words were never more relevant then when it comes to improving the indoor air quality of a home or business.  The EPA has long documented a multitude of sources that could be affecting your health.  In fact the EPA has recognized Sick Building Syndrome to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified
