Indoor Air Quality

[Guest guest]

Indoor air quality testing is very important to determine if there

is a problem with your building envelope.

An indoor air quality test and an outdoor quality test can determine

if there is a large disparity in the normal levels for you area.

Interesting comment but as Carl states over half may be reacting to

something else, it still leaves half, which is alot and there are few places to

go for help with mold exposure help outside of this group so by comparison to

the number of people suffering from mold exposure, this is a tiny number of

complaints. Until you go through it yourself, it is difficult to understand.

> I'm surpised at the amount of focus the members of this group have on mold and

so little on indoor air quality in general, specifically formaldehyde. I

understand mold is an issue for some and I don't mean to down play that. The

surprise is 98% of the California homes tested have formaldehyde above the

State's recommended concentration. In fact, the typical California home is 4

times the maximium recommended concentration. This is based on a 24-hour

average. Formaldehyde is very temperature sensitive with the peak concentration

happening in the late afternoon into early evening when most people are home.

The lowest concentration would be mornings and early afternoons when most are at

work or school. Consequently, the effective exposure to the occupant is likely 6

to 8 times the maximium recommended concentration.
