OUR PROCESS
During a typical indoor air quality assessment within a commercial space, we leave in place highly sensitive equipment that measure typical parameters associated with indoor air quality for a pre-determined amount of time. Then we analyze the data and compare the results to industry-accepted guidelines and legislation, and provide conclusions and recommendations based on what we find.
When we test the air for mold, we are able to determine what type of mold is in the air, and how much. Then we compare the results to industry-accepted criteria and provide conclusions and recommendations.
We perform air testing for asbestos fibres as per the NIOSH 7400 method. During asbestos removal projects, we monitor the work area, both inside and out, ensuring air quality meets legislative criteria. Upon completion of removal projects, we perform final air clearance monitoring to determine the work area meets air clearance criteria. Once this is successfully completed, we will issue Air Clearance Letters for the work area, a requirement for obtaining renovation/demolition permits.
