P100 Respirator with 2091 Filters by 3M
214.912.4691 – Through years of performing environmental testing in the Dallas / Fort Worth – DFW Metroplex area, ScanTech has evaluated numerous risk factors that impact human health from the perspectives of both short term (acute effects) and long term (chronic health issues) impacts in the occupational health realm.
ScanTech can check for the following key indoor air quality level indicators (many with time-based datalogging available) and have a report for you at the time of the onsite visit:
- Formaldehyde (HCHO)
- VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – measurement of fresh air dilution that tracks with VOCs
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) – a dangerous from combustion byproducts
- Respirable Dust Particles in PM2.5 (fine) and PM10 (coarse) size regimes
- Oxygen Levels
- HEPA Filtration and other central air purifier efficiency (MERV Rating)
- Pressure differentials between inside and outside (affects contamination potential)
- Relative ventilation levels – critical to know in newer homes that are tightly built
Optional Testing
- Mold Testing & Inspection including air samples, tape lifts and visual inspection
- Bacterial, Microorganism, Parasite & Bio-Film issues
- Radon Rn-222 Levels (alpha emitter lung carcinogen found in Texas including Dallas)
- Ozone levels testing – ozone is a oxidizing respiratory irritant
- Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) – toxic sewer gas that has a foul odor
- City of Dallas Green Ordinance Post Construction IAQ Clearance Sampling for 804.2
along with atmospheric factors such as:
- Temperature
- Relative Humidity
- Absolute Humidity
- Mixing Ratio, Vapor Pressure, Dew Point
- Barometric Pressure (to judge whether the structure is under positive or negative pressure with respect to the outside air)
Many residents of the Dallas / Fort Worth area suffer from the following symptoms, ailments, and diseases – much of which can be traced either directly to air quality and composition or is exacerbated by poor air quality:
- Allergies & Sinus Infections – (high particulate counts and VOCs, formaldehyde)
- Chronic Allergic Rhinitis – (bio-aerosols)
- Eye irritation – (formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, VOCs)
- Congestion – (high particulate counts and VOCs, formaldehyde)
- Inflammation – (formaldehyde, VOCs)
- Fatigue – (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide)
- Insomnia
- Headaches – (carbon monoxide)
- Dizziness – (carbon monoxide)
- Cognitive issues including difficulty focusing
- Nausea
- Coughing – (high particulate counts, mold, MVOCs)
- Asthma & other breathing difficulties – (MVOCs, high particulate counts, ozone)
- Bronchitis – (irritation of the lung bronchi)
These issues can contribute to and/or be symptomatic of more serious ailments such as:
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
- Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
- Carbon Monoxide / Carbon Dioxide Poisoning
- Autoimmune Disease
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Stroke
- Lung Cancer
- Leukemia
- Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
- Neurological issues due to chemical exposure and/or oxygen deprivation
In many cases, a simple series of air quality tests that detect and report important metrics such as respirable particle levels, VOCs, formaldehyde levels, radon gas, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen levels, etc. can narrow down the issue(s) responsible. Very often, mitigation is relatively inexpensive and well worth the modest investment.
While ScanTech can make suggestions on how to clean up your air, we are not an equipment vendor or installer, so there is no conflict of interest in selling you products that you don’t need. (or that may make things worse)
