INDOOR AIR QUALITY
PREMIER RESTORATION OFFERS FULL HOME TESTING TO DETECT POTENTIAL HEALTH CONCERNS. HERE'S A LIST OF WHAT WE TEST AND MONITOR:
AQI
AQI value of 100 generally corresponds to an ambient air concentration that equals the level of the short-term national ambient air quality standard for the protection of public health. AQI values at or below 100 are generally thought of as satisfactory. When AQI values are above 100, air quality is unhealthy.
PM2.5
Fine particulate matter PM2.5 are fine inhalable particles of 2.5 micrometers and smaller; they are dangerous to human health as they can go into the lungs and bloodstream. Particles from smokeless heating fuels, road dust, combustion particles, organic compounds, mold, large bacteria, etc.
PM10
Particulate Matter PM 10 are inhalable particles with diameters that are generally 10 micrometers and smaller. It includes dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, gaseous pollutants, etc.
PM1.0
These are extremely fine particulate matter (PM) particles of diameter less than 1 micron — significantly smaller than PM 2.5. These can measure the lowest finer particles of the particulate matter, including microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and other organic compounds.
CO2
Carbon dioxide increases with more people occupying a space, poor ventilation, and combustion by-products. When carbon dioxide levels spike, it increases the likelihood of health issues like sleepiness, distraction, and lethargy and affects productivity, concentration, and work performance.
TVOC
VOCs, volatile organic compounds, are cancer-causing gas chemicals released by products or processes. they can react with other gases and form other air pollutants after they are in the air. Total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) is a group of VOCs used to represent the entire pool of pollutants.
FORMALDEHYDE
Formaldehyde (CH2O) is a naturally occurring organic compound, a chemical that is used in building materials and to produce many household products. The dangerous gas is commonly emitted by wooden painted surfaces, fabrics, carpets, adhesives & glues in furniture and building materials like pressed wood & particle board.
TEMPERATURE
Uniformity of temperature is important to comfort and well-being. Improper temperatures indoors are a serious risk to your health and can cause insufficient humidity. Maintaining the proper temperature indoors is very critical to maintaining healthy indoor air quality.
HUMIDITY
The humidity level is just as important as indoor temperature. Humidity affects comfort, overall health, and air quality. When the humidity threshold is breached, it enhances the growth of Bacteria, Viruses, Mold spores, dust mites, and other allergens that cause respiratory infections.
DEW POINT
Dew Point is critically important to the end result of the Air Quality. Dew point is focused primarily on temperature and relative humidity. It refers to the dew point temperature of a gas under pressure. This is important because changing the pressure of a gas changes the dew point temperature of the gas.
