Asbestos Testing
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials until it was banned due to its carcinogenic properties. If your home or workplace was built before 1980s there is a high chance it contains asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). When these materials are disturbed or damaged they release microscopic fibers into the air which can be easily breathed into lungs causing serious health problems including lung cancer.
At Rarefied Air Environmental we offer comprehensive asbestos testing services designed to identify any ACMs present on your property. Our team will collect samples from various areas of your property including walls ceilings floors pipes ductwork insulation etc., then send them off for laboratory analysis using polarized light microscopy (PLM) technique which is considered as gold standard method for identifying asbestos fibers.
Mold Testing
Mold growth can occur anywhere there is moisture present - whether it's from water damage, high humidity, or poor ventilation. Mold can cause a variety of health problems including respiratory issues, allergies, and even neurological damage. If you suspect that your property has mold growth it's important to have it tested as soon as possible.
At Rarefied Air Environmental we offer comprehensive mold testing services designed to identify any mold growth present on your property. Our team will conduct a visual inspection of your property looking for signs of moisture intrusion and visible mold growth. We will also collect air and surface samples which will be sent off for laboratory analysis using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique which is considered as the most accurate method for identifying specific types of molds.
Lead Testing
Lead is a toxic metal that was commonly used in paint until it was banned in 1978 due to its harmful effects on human health - especially children under six years old who are most vulnerable to lead poisoning. Lead can cause serious health problems including developmental delays, learning disabilities, and even death.
At Rarefied Air Environmental we offer comprehensive lead testing services designed to identify any lead-based paint present on your property. Our team will conduct a visual inspection of painted surfaces looking for signs of peeling chipping or cracking paint which may contain lead-based pigments. We will also collect dust wipe samples from various areas around the house which will be sent off for laboratory analysis using XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) technique which is considered as the most accurate method for detecting lead levels in painted surfaces.
