Asthma and allergens are becoming an extremely prevalent problem among adults and children. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, allergies affect an estimated 50 to 80 million Americans, which translates to about one (1) of every five (5) adults and children. Allergies are also the sixth (6th) leading cause of chronic disease in the United States, with an annual medical cost exceeding $18 Billion.

There are many different contaminants in indoor environments (For Example, cat and dog dander, pollens, dust mite waste, cockroach feces) that can cause or aggravate allergies. A major reservoir for collecting and holding dust in indoor environments is carpet. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist (ACGIH) lists carpet as one of the nine potential sources of biological agents in an occupied space (Reference: ACGIH Bioaerosols: Assessment and Control 1999). Unfortunately, common allergens often get overlooked in the routine evaluation of a building for indoor environmental contaminants. Indoor distribution of allergens is made possible via your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air-conditioning System)

The International Association of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (IAACI) recommend to sample and analyze settled dust to evaluate the exposure of occupants to common allergens.

ACGIH (The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist) and AIHA (American Industrial Hygienist Association) have proposed and published threshold values or human exposure limits on allergens in dust. The threshold values are levels at which there is an increased risk of allergy sensitization or reactions in sensitized intervals.

Mold Control Solutions and Indoor Air Care (MCSIAC) provides a service to sample (collect) a measured amount of dust in a home without further causing airborne contaminants. The sample(s) are then sent to an accredited laboratory via chain-of-custody for multiple analyses for a variety of common allergens. This is the first step in identifying, preventing exposure, and decreasing the risk of allergies for the occupants.

Let Mold Control Solutions help you and your doctor identify your indoor environment for allergens.

MCSIAC provides a service to sample (collect) a measured amount of dust in a home without further causing airborne contaminants. Add this service to your mold inspection and save money.

Your Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning equipment distributes and collects air particles (particulates). Some of these particulates are so small that standard filters cannot capture them, and they pass to the coil, blower, supply plenum, and ductwork. Over a period of time, organisms develop and eat the collected debris. MCSIAC expertly performs this HVAC cleaning and disinfecting service. Air Conditioning System Cleaning and Disinfecting.
