Testing/Mold Testing
The existence of microbiological agents in the indoor environment
is an existence that has occurred from the creation of the first
human dwelling. Microbiological organism’s presence in indoor
environments is expected but it is the types and concentrations
that are present that requires understanding to allow for these
issues to be solved.
Microbiological presence indoors may range from the more common
types such as bacteria and fungi but may also include protozoa and
yeasts. Other biological borne derivatives such as allergenic animal
particulates (dander, pet saliva), insect parts, amoebae and dust
mite fecal matter may also present there own set of problems for
occupants indoors.
To properly evaluate indoor environments for the presence of microbiological
organisms, an understanding of building structures, moisture intrusion,
HVAC, temperature/relative humidity and dew point relationships
are required.
Additionally an understanding of sampling strategies are required
to ensure the knowledge to sample quiescently, semi-aggressively
or aggressively and the expertise required to interpret qualitative
and quantitative data produced as a result of sampling. Enviro Team
with its team of scientists has the ability and experience to perform
and provide these services.
