The Reason Why You Should Get Residential Environmental Tests
The indoor environment can have detrimental effects on one's well-being. This is important for those who are buying a new house and anybody who wishes to enhance their existing lifestyle.
Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas, which is present in one 15 houses. Asbestos and paint containing lead were extensively used in construction prior to 1978. They can also become an airborne gas during renovations.
Quality Of The Air
The smoke from wildfires, as well as other sources of air pollution could cause respiratory issues and cardiovascular disease. Fine particulate matter inhaled (PM2.5) may penetrate deeply in the lung, increasing the risk of lung infections and cardiovascular disease. It can also worsen existing lung and heart diseases.

The index of air quality indicates whether the surroundings are in good shape. The index measures six harmful pollutants, such as ozone from power plants, particles and vehicle exhaust as well as ground-level pollution with ozone.
Water Quality
It is essential to have the water you drink tested frequently. It is impossible to tell if the water you drink has been affected through external causes, even though EPA standards set the safe drinking water standard. Water testing can tell you whether any hazardous contaminants have been found beyond national standards, which can cause serious health problems in the future if not treated.
A water quality test can identify problems that are common at home. For example, if the water you use contains excessive iron, it can result in black or rusty orange stains on laundry, fixtures as well as water-using equipment. Water tests can tell you how much iron is in your water so that you can choose the right treatment to suit your needs.
Tests of water quality will reveal other elements that are not dangerous in tiny amounts, can cause problems if they are present in large quantities. The presence of a high amount of bacteria can lead to typhoid, or other water-related diseases.
Asbestos & Lead
Asbestos, a naturally occurring fiber that was employed to manufacture hundreds of building materials is dangerous. Asbestos fibers can be airborne when disturbed and create irritation in the lungs. This leads to deadly diseases such as asbestosis lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis.
Prior to any demolition or renovation work begins, it is necessary to sample suspected asbestos-containing substances. Reed Environmental Services employs specially-trained laboratory technicians that use a non-invasive approach to examine any suspected asbestos-containing substance.
Lead is a different but extremely common chemical that is present almost everywhere in homes or commercial construction prior to 1978. It can cause poisoning to both adults and children if it degrades, is damaged or disturbed by scraping, high heat removal or sanding. Testing is recommended to determine the level of contamination and assist you in establishing an action plan to remove the lead.
The Mold
The spores of mold can cause a range of respiratory ailments, including irritation to the throat, skin and nose, as well being a cause of headaches, constriction in the nasal passages and coughing. A long-term mold exposure may cause you to be more prone to serious health conditions such as asthma.
Home inspectors typically look for evidence of mold by inspecting the surfaces for signs of obvious mold and inspecting the home for damp areas. However, mold may hide under carpets and behind walls and is difficult to spot without proper tools. Testing for mold can identify colonies hidden in your home which can be hazardous to you and affect the comfort of your living room.
Just like Goldilocks, mold requires to have the "just just" amount of water to flourish and an expert environmental testing is able to identify this. An expert mold inspector will use air and swab samples to determine how your indoor environment is affecting your comfort and health. Both types of sample are taken at the same in order to identify environmental factors which can impact the number of spores. |
