Indoor Air Quality Testing in New York City, Williamsburg, Lower Manhattan, Greenpoint, Bushwick, NYC, and the Surrounding Brooklyn Areas
New Yorkers tend to spend a lot of time indoors, making the quality of the air we breathe inside our home a critical issue that should be monitored regularly.
You might be surprised to learn that indoor air quality tends to be worse than what’s outside. Some of the common culprits of poor indoor air quality in your home include limited ventilation, building materials with volatile organic compounds, cleaning products, tobacco smoke, inefficient HVAC systems, and mold.

IAQ Testing
Many homeowners contact us for home indoor air quality testing when a family member begins to experience symptoms that are often associated with poor indoor air quality, such as:
- Headaches
- Sinus and allergy problems
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Difficulty breathing
- Trouble concentrating
One of the biggest challenges with poor indoor air quality is that the pollutants that pose the biggest health hazards don’t always have distinctive odors.
Indoor air pollutants that may need specialized equipment to detect include:
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Particulate matter (like dust, pollen, and mold spores)
- Carbon monoxide
- Nitrogen dioxide
- High radon levels
- Mold
- Formaldehyde
