Air Quality Testing Services
Our indoor air should be at least as healthy as our outdoor air (if not better). Just step outside on any good air quality day and take a deep breath – smells nice, doesn’t it! Now do the same inside your home. If your indoor air smells different than you’re the outside air, there could be a problem.

What Testing is Best for Me?
There are many types of indoor air quality tests Below are a few of the tests GreenWorks offers for ensuring the health and safety of your home or workplace air quality. Call Greenworks to speak with an investigator to find which is best for you depending on your situation.
VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) Sampling
VOCs, or Volatile Organic Compounds, are chemicals emitted as gases from various building materials and consumer products. The EPA states that “levels of several organics average 2 to 5 times higher indoors than outdoors”. When exposed, adverse health effects may include eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, and in severe cases can cause damage to the central nervous system and certain types of cancer.

Breathe Clean Air in Your Home
From today’s super energy-efficient homes that are sealed off from the exterior environment to older homes from the built environment; building material off-gassing, soil gases, home cleaners, paints & varnishes, etc. can build up and degrade our indoor air. Known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), these toxic gases can collect in your home and grow to concentrations that can make it hard to breathe. GreenWorks can make the air you breathe better!
The Air Quality Rule
Our indoor air should be at least as healthy as our outdoor air (if not better). Just step outside on any good air quality day and take a deep breath – smells nice doesn’t it! Now do the same inside your home. If your indoor air smells different than you’re the outside air there could be a problem. If you don’t smell anything at all, don’t panic! Not being able to smell aromas in the air we breathe is more common than you think.

Air Quality
Many times we can’t put our finger on exactly what is causing our ill health. But we come to realize that we actually “Feel Better” when we leave our homes for any length of time. This is often the case when hidden biological issues are degrading the homes overall air quality. An environmental air quality professional will be needed.
It’s not unusual to have become so de-sensitized to the aromas associated with your home after living there for decades. Many times folks new to your home will notice the unusual aroma and mention it to you. You should hire a professional and investigate this further as things are not as they always seem to you.
Our nasal cavity and sinus chambers are our primary line of defense in conditioning air as it enters our bodies. Persistent sinus infections are often tied to a hidden environmental stressor that re-exposure to has detrimental health effects. Address the issue before it spreads beyond your sinuses.
