Indoor Air Quality Survey

Indoor air quality is a concern because people spend over 90 percent of their time in the home, workplace or school.  Due to all the time spent indoors, the risk to health may be greater indoors than outdoor pollution.  US Environmental Protection Agency estimates indoor air is two to five times more polluted than outdoor air.

To survey a Home, School or Workplace please contact our office at 218-725-5200
