Indoor air quality directly impacts your health, comfort, and well-being. Professional air quality testing is a proactive step to ensure your home environment is safe and healthy. Here's what the process typically involves:

MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. - EntSun -- Per Ned & Darlene Marcoux, owners of Sunsation Services. Your best choice for Brevard County, Florida, Air Quality & Mold Testing. We asked Darlene what is involved with having your home or business's air quality tested? She replied:

1. Initial Consultation & Assessment

A certified indoor air quality (IAQ) professional begins by discussing your concerns, symptoms, & any known issues, such as mold, dust, or odors. They perform a walkthrough to identify potential sources of air quality problems, such as ventilation issues, humidity, or visible contaminants.

2. Selection of Testing Areas

Based on the assessment, key areas of your home are selected for testing. This commonly includes bedrooms, living areas, basements, & attics—places where air circulation may be limited, or pollutants may accumulate.

3. Air Sampling

Using specialized equipment, the technician collects air samples to measure levels of common indoor pollutants such as:
  • Particulate matter (dust, allergens)
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from household products & materials
  • Carbon monoxide & carbon dioxide
  • Mold spores & fungal elements
  • Radon gas (often tested separately but crucial in many regions)
  • Formaldehyde & other chemicals

Different methods, such as air pumps with filters, sorbent tubes, or direct-reading monitors, may be used depending on the substance being tested.

4. Surface & Material Sampling (Optional)

If warranted, the inspector may take surface samples or swabs from walls, carpets, or HVAC systems to check for mold, bacteria, or other contaminants.

5. Ventilation & Humidity Measurement

Proper airflow & humidity control are vital for healthy air quality. Technicians measure air exchange rates & humidity levels to assess whether ventilation systems are functioning effectively.

6. Comprehensive Report & Recommendations

The professional provides a detailed report that explains the findings, compares levels to health-based standards, & highlights any issues. They also recommend practical solutions such as air purifiers, improved ventilation, mold remediation, or changes in household habits.

7. Follow-Up Testing (If Needed)

After remediation or improvements, follow-up testing might be conducted to ensure air quality has improved to safe levels.

Why It Matters:
Professional air quality testing uncovers hidden hazards that can cause respiratory problems, allergies, or more serious health conditions. It empowers homeowners with the knowledge needed to create safer, healthier living spaces.
