How RTK Handles Dust Testing
Dust isn’t all the same—and understanding what’s in yours is the first step to protecting your health. RTK specializes in identifying both common and unknown particles found in household and workplace dust, from cellulose fibers, pet dander, and dust mites to minerals and fungal allergens.
Because many environmental hazards can’t be identified by sight alone, RTK uses professional testing methods to analyze dust at a deeper level.
Licensed environmental inspectors collect and evaluate samples to determine—or rule out—the presence of potentially harmful substances affecting your space.
RTK conducts dust testing in two key ways:
- A dust wipe sample, which captures settled particles on surfaces
- An air sample, which measures what’s actively circulating in your environment
Together, these methods provide a clear and comprehensive picture of what you’re breathing and living with.
You should consider a dust characterization if:
- You or your family members have allergies
- You’ve recently completed renovation or remediation work
- You live near active construction and want to know if it’s affecting your indoor environment
- You have small children, especially those who crawl and may ingest dust (lead testing may also be recommended)
- You’re experiencing unexplained health symptoms
