Dust Analysis

Dust is ubiquitous in our environment but generally falls into one of three categories: household dust, workplace dust and industrial dust. Each type of dust is made up of different constituents from its surrounding environment, and these dust and debris particles from industrial sites, a workplace or even homes can be potentially hazardous.

Household Dust

Is commonly made up of skin cells, hairs, pollen, minerals, mold, bug parts, paper fibers and carpet fibers.

While these particles are not harmful, there could be extraneous particles, allergens or toxic materials in household dust that can cause allergic reactions.

Workplace Dust

Includes the common materials from household dust plus a broader range of unknown materials since it depends on the workplace environment.

Workplace dust needs to be treated with caution since it could be contaminated with all sorts of different allergens and/or toxic particles.

Sick Building Syndrome

Symptoms of poor indoor air quality

Can be very broad and depend on the contaminant. They can easily be mistaken for symptoms of other illnesses such as allergies, stress, colds and influenza. If you notice relief from your symptoms soon after leaving a particular room or building, your symptoms may be caused by indoor air contaminants.

“Clean and neat.. Would recommend them. Took their time and did what they promised to do. They removed their shoes and are very courteous. They took the time to explain and answer all my questions and were not there to just hurry up and get out of there. Did it properly and promptly. Thank you for a fine job.”
