Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Testing
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) testing is important for homeowners and landlords as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. IAQ testing can identify common indoor air pollutants that may lead to experiencing health problems soon after exposure or years later.
Immediate effects include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Other health effects may show up years after exposure has occurred or only after long or repeated periods of exposure. Environmental Testing Services (ETS) recommends IAQ testing to identify common pollutants whether or not current symptoms exists.

Mold Testing
The first thing to know about mold that differs from air pollutants is that you can actually see it. However, mold also grows in places that are out of sight, so it is important to test your home for mold. Mold can be present behind walls, below surfaces, behind appliances, in cracks, corners or any other hidden locations throughout your home. Even areas where minor water damage has occured, that has not completely dried within 48 hours, can be contaminated by mold.
According ot the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects, or none at all. Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, exposure to molds can lead to symptoms such as stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes, or skin. Some people, such as those with allergies to molds or with asthma, may have more intense reactions. Severe reactions may occur among workers exposed to large amounts of molds in occupational settings, such as farmers working around moldy hay. Severe reactions may include fever and shortness of breath.
Mold testing is different than just requesting a mold inspection. Mold testing attempts to identify the specific type of mold and level of spores in the air, whereas a mold inspection is broad in terms of mold presence and the size of the problem.
