Do you need an indoor air quality test?
Quite often, people seem to be very concerned about outdoor air quality.
There’s even a rating for it on weather websites that indicate pollen levels, pollution levels, etc.
Well it is true that any sensible person prefers their outdoor air quality in their town or neighborhood to be nice and clean, or at the very least bearable, people don’t often seem to take their indoor air quality just as seriously. That’s why it might behoove you to get an indoor air quality test. Indoor air quality tests check for such things as allergens and mold, which may very well be floating around in your air. These are the biological elements that can be tested for during an air quality test. It is also possible that chemical pollutants can be present in your air. Lead may be something to look out for, for example. Lead might be present in homes, especially if they are particularly old. Other chemicals, like radon or even formaldehyde, have been detected in homes in which people live who may very well otherwise have had no idea that they were breathing it. Finally, there are also combustible pollutants, like second-hand smoke, or even carbon monoxide, which is extremely deadly. If you are concerned about such air pollutants, and you really should be, your local HVAC company may be able to do an indoor air quality test, so that you may see what exactly it is that you’re breathing every day. Once the test is taken, you may very well be better off getting some sort of air purifier or filter, so that your indoor air quality is healthy!
