Air Sampling

Air and swab sampling for indoor environments

Understanding the air around you matters more than most people realise. Air quality sampling can reveal hidden contaminants that affect the health of everyone inside a building — and in some situations, getting that data isn’t just useful, it’s essential. 

Once you know what’s in the air, you’re in a much stronger position to tackle it. Whether it’s improving ventilation, addressing damp, or reducing pollutants, the results give you something concrete to act on.

There’s a commercial benefit too. If you’re buying, selling or renting a property, being able to demonstrate clean, healthy air quality is a genuine point of difference — and a reassurance that buyers, sellers and landlords will value alike.

Our air sampling services detect the majority of the most common airborne contaminants, including mould, dander, pollen, construction dust and combustion particles. It is very important that air survey reports are interpreted and explained by professionals who understand your building and its history.

Diagnosing indoor air quality problems that can cause:

Indoor air sampling for VOCs, formaldehyde and microbial contaminants.

Indoor VOC Survey
With thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by hundreds of sources, it can be challenging to identify potential indoor sources. A single sample can reveal the chemical information that may help identify categories of potential sources

Active Mould Test (MVOC)
Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) are produced as the mold digests its food, causing serious health effects in the elderly, those with asthma and allergies, but especially children and infants. MVOC may be detected even if the mould is hidden from the naked eye with an air sampling survey.

Formaldehyde Sampling
Formaldehyde in the air could cause watery eyes; burning sensations in the throat, nose, and eyes; skin irritation, coughing, wheezing and nausea and is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen. We can identify potential sources of formaldehyde such as building materials, everyday products, and natural processes in your environment.
