While sitting in a well-lit room, one can often see particles floating in the air. Particulate in the air can consist of things like dirt, mold, bacteria, mites, and pollen. Many of these things can be harmful to an individual’s health.

Conditions such as asthma, sinusitis, and fatigue can be caused by the air that one breathes while inside. It has been found that by using various air cleaning machines or purifiers, indoor air quality can be improved. This can positively impact one’s overall health, however it is important to use equipment that is certified for an individuals unique needs in order to obtain the maximum health benefits.

At Clean Air Labs new technology for cleaning air is being explored. With plenty of square footage for testing, unique model homes can be constructed in which remediation or air-cleaning techniques can be explored. Inside this controlled environment, new products such as air scrubbers and purifiers can be subjected to various levels of air contamination and their efficiency can be rated. This is done by taking samples from the air inside the model home.

The advantage of having this controlled environment with a known square footage is that the air cleaning time for a product can be ascertained. Using laboratory technology, Clean Air Labs can determine an air cleaning machine’s effectiveness against the different types of allergens. The knowledge gained from this type of testing is invaluable to manufacturers as well as consumers. It allows the proper equipment to be marketed to the appropriate audience.

Mold and bacterial growth on surfaces can also be problematic indoors. Microbial growth is not only unsightly, but can also eat away a structure. By growing and feeding on surfaces bacteria and mold can deteriorate a structures integrity making its interior dangerous.

Surface growing microbes may also become airborne leading to inhalation or ingestion that can lead to illness. So for health and safety reasons it is important to prevent microbial growth. Containments and surface cleaners can do this. At Clean Air Labs, products can be analyzed to determine their ability to inhibit growth. Once microbial growth is halted, surface repair can begin.
