Indoor air quality monitoring & consultancy
The time we spend indoors is increasing in today’s society. However, there are components of indoor air that may be affecting your health.
Indoor air quality problems can lead to loss in productivity due to employee absence. In worse scenarios, there also may be a loss in revenue, not only from decreased productivity, but through litigation and legal matters.
With staff certified as Certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE) from the American Council for Certified Accreditation (ACAC), we can determine the causes of indoor air problems in your home or office and provide solutions.
We monitor air for parameters such as
- Carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), temperature, relative humidity
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Other gases such as hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2),
- Various sizes of dust (Particulate Matter PM 10, PM 2.5. PM 1.0)
- Fibreglass and asbestos
- Airborne mould spores
We also can inspect your air-conditioning and ventilation systems to assess the condition, efficiency, and location as well review of the design of the system and how this may affect the quality of indoor air
Sygma Environmental is also a member of the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA)
