Welcome to American Air Testing
Specializing in Post Remediation and
Abatement Validations
We are Indoor Environmental Professionals who
are qualified by knowledge, skill, education, training,
certifications and experience to perform an assessment of the fungal
ecology of structures, systems and contents at a job site, create a
sampling strategy, sample the indoor environment and submit to an
appropriate laboratory, interpret laboratory data and determine
Condition 1,2 or 3 for the purpose of establishing a scope of work
and verifying the return of the job site to a normal ecology.
We provide consulting and testing on indoor air
pollution from water damage, sewage or other environmental pollutants
promptly and with current knowledge and equipment.
We also are sympathetic to the impact environmental pollution and
it's cleanup can create in your life. When we make our recommendations
for cleanup and repairs, we are sensitive to both costs and liability.
We understand the value of health and can assist you in eliminating
dampness. Damp buildings are enhanced environments for dust
mites and cockroaches, mold and other microbial agents, as well
as degradation of the building materials and personal or business
property.
Our onsite environmental evolution of your project may include:
Toxic Molds
Sewage-Bacteria
Asbestos
Odors
Indoor air quality is negatively impacted by any water leaks.
Leaks can originate outside the building, such as a roof or window
leak; or inside the building, such as a plumbing leak or elevated
interior humidity from lack of ventilation or insulation.
Lifestyle issues may also be a contributing factor to the indoor
air quality. Damp indoor environments favor dust mites and
microbial growth, standing water supports cockroach and rodent infestations,
and excessive moisture may initiate chemical emissions from building
materials and furnishings.

WHO Publishes IAQ Guidelines on Dampness and Mold
Copenhagen and Bonn -- 16 July 2009: WHO published its first guidelines on
indoor air quality, addressing dampness and mold. They are the result of a
rigorous two-year review of the currently available science by 36 leading
experts worldwide, coordinated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe. The
authors conclude that occupants of damp or moldy buildings, both private and
public, have up to a 75% greater risk of respiratory symptoms and asthma.
The guidelines recommend the prevention or remediation
of dampness and mold-related problems to significantly reduce harm to health.
