Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in a home. The midwest has very high levels of radon. The US EPA
recommends a corrective action to reduce the level of radon in your home at 4 pCi/L. Rock Island and Henry counties average exceeds 6.5 pCi/L per home inspection.
Another way to judge whether your home has or could develop indoor air problems is to identify potential sources of indoor air pollution. Although the presence of such sources does not necessarily mean that you have an indoor air quality problem, being aware of the type and number of potential sources is an important step toward assessing the air quality in your home.
The Air-O-Cell(r) is a unique air sampling cassette specifically designed for the rapid collection of a wide range of airborne aerosols including mold spores, pollen, insect parts, skin cell fragments, fibers (e.g. asbestos, fiberglass, cellulose, clothing fibers, etc.) and inorganic particulate e.g. ceramic, fly ash, copy toner, etc.). The Air-O-Cell(r) collects both viable and non-viable sample specimens, providing a much broader overview of potential allergens contaminants than conventional sampling techniques.
Environmental screening of the home or work environment is important for individuals with perennial allergies. In keeping with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) 1997 recommendations, it is desirable to remove common allergens and modify the home or office to reduce the level of ubiquitous allergens. House dust, which may contain house dust mites, animal dander, hair or excrement, cockroach detritus, molds and other allergens, is a cause of asthma, rhinitis/sinusitis, and probably atopic dermatitis in allergic people.
