Learn More About Mold Spores and Air Quality Testing

Not long ago, air quality was something that was only a concern when it came to the outdoors. Industrial pollution, allergens, particulates, and other factors wreaked havoc with people's respiratory systems. Inside, dust, pollen, and other contaminants were stopped by a roof and four walls, but there was still the matter of making the indoors comfortable for living, while keeping the outdoors separate. That changed when efficient HVAC systems were invented and homes and workplaces could essentially become closed environments. The particles that affected people's ability to breath could be filtered as air circulated through the system. As a result, buildings were designed differently, with a reliance on a closed climate system, as well as phasing out large windows and other openings in exchange for better insulation and energy efficiency.



The drawback to having such a closed environment is that it is often difficult to control moisture in some parts of a home or workplace. Moisture is what mold thrives on. Without adequate UV radiation from sunlight, darker, damper microclimates can influence mold growth, causing it to rapidly colonize and take over an area.

Spores cast out by mold colonies can often be deadly, such as with Black Mold. Aspergillus is one of the more commonly known forms of mold, whose spores are toxic to humans and other animals. With the presence of moisture, a closed environment, and lack of sunlight, it can cause breathing problems, not only for people who already suffer respiratory conditions, but with increasing toxicity, just about anyone.



Commonly, mold is detected on sight, from seeing these colonies, and most often, it is smelled before it is even seen. However, testing the quality of your home or business can yield results and allow you to abate these mold infestations before it is too late. Once a large mold colony has gotten a foothold in a structure, it is very difficult and sometimes expensive to reliably remove it. 

Let Us Do the Dirty Work!

With BioClean CT, you can be three steps ahead of a mold infestation, often detecting it long before it is even detected by scent, much less sight. Through analysis of the air samples taken, not only can the presence of mold be discovered, but it can also be determined as to which molds you and your family might be up against.
