Air Quality & Allergens
Evaluate invisible contaminants dust mites, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, fibers that affect your health, comfort, and building performance. If you experience recurring symptoms, indoor air quality testing may help identify potential environmental factors associated with a “sick building” or “sick home” environment.
What Are Indoor Allergens?
An allergen is any substance that triggers an immune response in sensitive individuals. Common indoor allergens include:
01
Dust mites & their waste particles
02
Mold spores
03
Pet dander (cats, dogs & other animals)
04
Cockroach particles & droppings
05
Pollen tracked indoors or via ventilation
06
Fiberglass & other synthetic fibers
07
Skin cells & other biological particles
Good to know: Unlike seasonal outdoor allergies, indoor allergens can cause symptoms year-round and may worsen in winter and summer months when people spend more time inside with windows closed.
Tell the Difference
Allergy symptoms and cold symptoms often look identical, which is why indoor allergies frequently go undiagnosed. Here’s a general guide:
LIKELY ALLERGIES
LIKELY A COLD
If your symptoms have lasted more than two weeks or consistently return in the same environment, allergen testing is worth considering. Unmanaged indoor allergies can lead to chronic sinus infections, sleep disruption, and the development of asthma.
