VOC & Formaldehyde Sampling

Volatile organic compound (VOC) exposure can very well be a common daily experience. For example, many of us notice that unique “new” smell from that new car, new comfy sofa or even home building materials. Unfortunately, this exceptional smell we all long for can be directly related to potentially harmful chemical off-gassing. These compounds may cause a variety of symptoms as well as spontaneous levels of impact on one’s self depending on the current influence it has on the indoor air quality. Overtime these smells or VOCs begin to diminish resulting to be faint to non-existent due to it undergoing its off-gassing period.

For example, many of us notice that unique “new” smell from that new car, new comfy sofa or even home building materials. Unfortunately, this exceptional smell we all long for can be directly related to potentially harmful chemical off-gassing. These compounds may cause a variety of symptoms as well as spontaneous levels of impact on one’s self but truly depends on the current influence the compound has on the ambient air. Over time these smells or VOCs begin to diminish resulting in being faint to non-existent due to it undergoing its off-gassing period. Not only do we have the ability to perform specific compound testing such as formaldehyde sampling but in many cases when we lack compound or history specifics we can perform a library search to cover dozens of commonly found compounds in one sampling period. Our team of professionals will guide you in the direction for a proper solution when considering risk, liability, and exposure.

Possible sources of VOC off-gassing:

• • • Paints
      
    • Solvents
      
    • Sealing Caulks
      
    • Varnishes
      
    • Upholstery Fabrics
      
    • Carpet, Padding and their adhesives
      
    • Vinyl Flooring Materials
      
    • Medium Density Fiber Board
