Indoor Air Quality:

IAQ evaluation usually begins with questionnaires and interviews with effected personnel. ERA may perform direct-reading measurements of indoor air containments, including: Particulates, Carbon Dioxide, Temperature and Relative Humidity (RH).
ERA also inspects the building's ventilation system design and operating procedures,in addition to reviewing the system's preventative maintenance program.
ERA inspects the condition of system components for microbial reservoirs and amplifiers as well as sources of odors, chemical contaminants and combustion products.
When an IAQ evaluation reveals active or potential contaminant sources, ERA may be retained to conduct subsequent air sampling and analysis to document the extent of contamination.
