Indoor Air Quality Investigations

Airborne contaminants are generated from a variety of sources such as cleaning agents, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including formaldehyde from new building materials, and biological agents from indoor and outdoor sources. As they become more concentrated, they present a greater problem. Strategic sampling identifies problems to aid in the development of an action plan to eliminate or control the situation and aid in developing an effective O&M program.
