Indoor Air Quality Commercial Testing
Is Your Building Making Tenants Sick?
What Causes Poor Indoor Air Quality in Commercial Buildings?
Inadequate ventilation, chemicals, mold, volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, bacteria, radon, 
pest infestation, and renovations can affect the quality of air in a commercial building. If irritants persist, you may have a “sick building” on your hands. Sick building syndrome affects tens of thousands of buildings annually. The result can be lost productivity and higher absenteeism. Many factors can contribute to poor indoor air quality and it’s prudent to identify them all.
