Testing Dust for Air Quality

To determine if your indoor air quality is acceptable, focusing on dust testing rather than air testing is recommended. This method reveals the presence of particles and toxins that may not be detectable in air tests, as dust accumulates various contaminants from the environment. By analyzing dust, it is possible to identify different species of mold, bacteria, and other harmful substances that one might be exposed to regularly. This comprehensive approach helps individuals understand their living conditions better and take appropriate actions for remediation.
