Air testing can be made easy with do-it-yourself kits and the help of our consultations and laboratories. Always remember, more sophisticated and accurate testing more professional equipment. Our testing is limited in scope and used as a screen test and a preventative measure. It is designed for residential testing with economical pricing..

VOC (Volatile Organic compounds)-Represent a large variety of chemicals that exist as a gas or can easily off gas under normal room temperatures. Some major sources include Photocopying materials, paints, gasoline, refrigerants, personal hygiene and cosmetics products, building materials, disinfectants and pesticides. Most VOCs are generally present in very low quantities in the indoor environment. Symptoms attributable in human response to VOC's are often similar to those from other indoor contaminants such as particulate and biocontaminants. Many people living with chemical contaminants become use to the odors and are unable to detect that they are living in a compromised environment.

Passive Monitor Specific
|
|
- a self testing device that can be placed in the home to monitor ONE specific chemical. These are usually used to check for one substance, such as formaldehyde, that may be of concern to the homeowner. All monitors are analyzed at a nationally accredited laboratory recommended by the ACGIH. Results will be reviewed and explained by a My Healthy Home consultant.

Passive TVOC and IVOC Monitors (panel)
|
|
- a self testing unit that will monitor all chemicals that are present in the home. It will analyze the top 200 major contaminants. All monitors must be place in the home for 7-8 days.

Vacuum Dust Sample
|
|
- a self testing unit that is hooked to a standard vacuum cleaner that allows dust to be sampled from a carpet. This test can be analyzed for mold, pesticide, animal dander, dust mites and common allergy panel. This will tell the homeowner what contaminants they are exposed to regularly from in the house, tracked in from outside, or trapped in the carpeting.

MY HEALTHY HOME NOTE:
|
|
Identification of unknown odors is a difficult task. There are roughly 200 top VOC's that may or may not be the cause of your problem. This type of testing should help determine most of the potentially troublesome gases. We recommend you consult your physician or Environmental physician for correlations between chemicals in the sample and your health concerns. For more information, contact My Healthy Home at 866-743-8563.
