Tampa, FL -- Through its affiliation with Environmental Diagnostics Laboratory (EDLab) Building Health Check provides an array of do-it-yourself indoor air quality (IAQ) tests called the IAQ Screen Check www.IAQScreenCheck.com designed for both commercial clients as well as consumers.  The IAQ Screen Checks are economical and easy to use. 

 

The latest product offering is the Organic Vapor Screen Check (OVSC) that allows the occupant the ability to screen for over 50 common indoor chemicals.  The OVSC will provide concentration of each chemical isolated and all have occupational exposure limits.  They are all common chemicals that may exist in the home or office.

Carrier Corporation - Indianapolis, IN., United Technologies Corporation (UTC) - Hartford, CT., among many others.

 

With the OVSC it is extremely easy to obtain accurate results for personal exposure and room concentrations. When the package is opened, the user records the time and additional information, such as name, work performed, etc. The badge is clipped near the breathing zone for personal monitoring or placed in the room for area monitoring.

When the test is completed, the time is recorded and the badge is sealed in the original package and returned for analysis in the mailer provided. The laboratory measures the amount of the vapor collected. The monitoring badges are calibrated to directly give the time-weighted average concentration (TWA) in parts per million (ppm). The TWA concentration is what is required for OSHA compliance.

"We are proud to add chemical assessments to our successful line of do-it-yourself IAQ Screen Check products designed for both consumers and businesses" stated Alan Wozniak, President/CEO.  "Our products are also available at many fine distributors such as Carrier Air Conditioning, Victors Distributors, Yandle-Witherspoon among others across the country" Wozniak added.
