The presence of mold in homes and workplace environments presents considerable health risks of illnesses and diseases. While it is generally not attributed to serious illness, mold in large quantities can lead to instances of neurological problems and death. Homeowners and employers need to routinely conduct air testing to check traces of mold to ensure health hazards are avoided as best as possible.

Mold can be checked easily by looking out for visible signs of excess moisture in buildings and homes. However, it is now possible to avert the dangerous consequences of health hazards through air testing for mold using advanced air cassette technologies. In this post, we explore what air testing for mold is and how it needs to be conducted through carefully controlled protocols and methods.

We’ll be at AIHce 2017, June 4-7 2017. Come see us at booth #1227.

Every year, AIHce continues to be the premiere destination for thousands of IH/OH professionals who are responsible for the safety, health, and environment of today’s workspaces. Industry suppliers have joined in this yearly EXPerience, bringing new technologies, training, and connections to help you be more efficient in your pursuit of protecting worker health.

NY State regulations require all Legionella culture analyses to be performed by a laboratory that is approved to perform such analyses by the New York State Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP). SanAir Technologies Laboratory is proud to announce that our laboratory has received our ELAP certification for Legionella testing in New York State.

In many industries, such as pharmaceuticals, mining, and construction, air samples are important for analyzing the concentration of dust and other hazardous particles that can be detrimental to both business operations and employees. Air cassettes can be used to assess the risk of these dangers. These small devices allow users to collect a representative sample of air particles in a specific environment that help identify that an area is conducive for working and business operations.

In this post, we explore what air cassettes are and how they are utilized for air sampling.

Many industries such as biotechnology, medical device manufacturing, pharmaceutical, medical disposables, and hospital pharmacies carry out air sampling in their rooms and production areas. Air sampling refers to collecting a volume of air to inspect it for undesirable particles and contaminants.

Why is Air Sampling Needed?

Many industries like the ones mentioned above need to follow and adhere to strict regulations that dictate the cleanliness and maintenance of rooms and manufacturing areas. In order to control the amount of contaminants and particles in the air, air sampling is carried out. There are two types of air sampling; viable and non-viable.
