Indoor Air Quality Testing for Healthier Homes and Offices
During the past several years, most people have spent more time indoors than ever—whether at home, in the office, or at school. What many don’t realize is that the air inside can be significantly more polluted than the air outside.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor pollutant levels can be 25–100 times higher than outdoor levels. This means common health issues can be linked to the very air occupants are breathing. Indoor pollutants include living organisms such as mold and dust‑mite allergens, as well as chemicals and gases, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), radon, carbon monoxide, and PCBs.
That’s why RTK Environmental recommends comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) and radon testing when you or your family notice unexplained health symptoms, or when you simply want peace of mind about your environment.
What RTK Indoor Air Quality and Radon Testing Covers
RTK Environmental’s indoor air quality testing and radon testing are designed to help you understand what’s in the air you and your family are breathing. Our professional inspectors use advanced sampling methods and unbiased lab analysis to identify or rule out key indoor pollutants.
Typical IAQ and radon investigations include:
- Radon gas from soil and building materials
- Mold spores and airborne allergens
- Carbon monoxide and combustion byproducts from furnaces or stoves
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paints, furniture, carpets, adhesives, and cleaning products
- PCBs and other legacy chemicals in older buildings
- Particles from HVAC systems, including dust, fibers, and combustion byproducts
- Common indoor allergens such as dust mite fragments and pet dander
Because RTK Environmental performs testing only and never remediation, our clients know they are getting accurate, independent results and clear recommendations.
What Causes Poor Indoor Air Quality?
Two of the most common causes of poor indoor air quality are mold growth and elevated VOC levels.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) come from many everyday items, including:
- New carpets, furniture, and cabinets
- Paints, adhesives, and sealants
- Vinyl flooring, bedding, and fabrics
- Scented candles, air fresheners, and cleaning products
- Printers, plastics, and insulation
In cities and densely populated areas—such as New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Westchester, Long Island, northern New Jersey, and Fairfield and Hartford counties—outdoor air pollution plus building‑related sources can compound indoor air quality problems. Traffic exhaust, construction, subway emissions, and aging infrastructure increase the risk that indoor air is not as clean as it should be.
Where RTK Environmental Offers IAQ and Radon Testing
RTK Environmental provides indoor air quality and radon testing throughout the tri‑state region, including:
- Southern New York State

Whether you live in a city apartment, a suburban home, or a commercial building, we can help you understand what’s in your air and whether action is needed.
How to Know When to Schedule an IAQ or Radon Test
Many indoor air pollutants are invisible and odorless, so symptoms can be subtle at first. Consider scheduling an indoor air quality or radon test if:
- Family members experience unexplained respiratory symptoms, headaches, or fatigue indoors
- There has been recent renovation, water damage, or construction near your property
- Your home is in a high‑radon area or built on soil types linked to radon
- You are buying, selling, or renting a home or commercial property
RTK’s approach is simple: we test, analyze the results, and explain them in straightforward language. Our reports include clear next steps, whether that means further investigation, remediation, or simply confirming that your indoor air is safe.
