Formaldehyde is a colourless gas that is commonly found in the indoor air of homes. It can be emitted from building materials and furnishings, in particular those made from pressed-wood products with formaldehyde-based adhesives.
Indoor air quality has become an important health and safety concern. Homes with poor IAQ report a wide range of occupant health problems which can be related to Sick Building Syndrome. Sick building syndrome describes a scenario in which home/building occupants experience adverse health effects that are apparently linked to the time they spend in the building. To address these concerns we offer a suite of indoor air/environmental testing services to assist to baseline the indoor pollutants so that you can begin to plan the corrective action. See the suite of environmental testing services we provide below.
