How To Test Indoor Air Quality
Air quality is measured to check whether the air at a particular location is already at a level that is harmful to humans. Outdoor air quality is a public concern and is often monitored by central governments and other governmental agencies. Indoor air quality, on the other hand, is a private concern and is monitored by private households and building occupants. There are simple ways to test indoor air quality. Home owners must know how to test indoor quality to protect their family from the harmful effects of poor air quality.
There are many factors that affect indoor air quality. Air pollutants that affect indoor air quality are the following: mold and mildew, carbon monoxide, radon, etc. Mold and mildew is caused by moisture. It can grow on building material, furniture, wet carpet, inside heating and cooling systems, and in other places. A visual inspection of furniture is enough to test for the presence of mildew. Dangerous harmful gases include radon and carbon monoxide. Radon is a colorless and odorless gas that rises naturally from the soil and enters the home through dirt floors, cracks in the basement floor and walls, and drainage systems. A way to test for radon is to purchase a radon detection kit. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that is generated from incomplete combustion of fuel in household devices, such as stoves, furnaces, water heaters and fireplaces. The way to test presence of carbon monoxide is through a carbon monoxide detector.
