We have assisted with situations that range the full gamut from nuisance complaints to full building evacuations. Using the best technology available, it is sometimes possible to simply rule out the more common potential contributors to IAQ discomfort, or to detect a chemical or cause of an actual issue. These assessments can incorporate a variety of levels or types of elements as described below.
