Indoor Air Quality Assessments

ECG understands the importance of responding quickly to our clients when indoor air quality problems arise. We can typically be on site to investigate your IAQ issuewithin 24 hours of a service request.

Two factors commonly involved with indoor air quality problems are pollution sources and the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The pollutant is a source of contamination that causes odors, various physical symptoms, and/or discomfort. The HVAC system can be a source of contamination, or, when not operating properly, it can fail to effectively control air contamination and ensure thermal comfort (temperature and humidity).

The 10 most common indoor air pollutants and parameters include:

• Asbestos
• Carbon monoxide
• Carbon dioxide
• Sulfur dioxide
• Nitrogen dioxide
• Volatile Organic Compounds
• Formaldehyde
• Particulates
• Temperature
• Relative humidity

ECG has extensive experience with indoor air quality investigations and testing. We also provide annual testing services for several buildings in the downtown Chicago area.
