Indoor Air Quality in Belleville, IL

Indoor air quality in Belleville, IL is measured, not guessed. Air Sense Environmental runs a continuous monitor in the home for 48 hours or more, tracking particulate matter, VOCs, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and humidity, and the St. Clair County homeowner gets a written report and a plan.

What does an indoor air quality test measure in a Belleville home?

• Particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) from cooking, candles, smoke and HVAC systems
• Chemical vapors (VOCs) from paints, cleaners, new flooring and furniture
• Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, which point to ventilation and combustion problems
• Temperature and relative humidity; sustained humidity above 60 percent is a warning sign
• Radon (optional), measured against the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L

When should Belleville homeowners test indoor air quality?

Belleville is one of the oldest cities in the Metro East, and its housing runs from 19th-century brick near downtown to post-war ranches and newer subdivisions on the east side. These are the situations and Belleville home types where a test pays off:

• Allergy or respiratory symptoms that ease when you leave the house
• After a renovation, new flooring or new furniture
• Humidity that stays high, or a musty smell from a basement or crawl space
• Before buying or selling a home
• Brick homes near downtown and the Belleville historic districts with stone or brick foundations and cellars
• Post-war ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s with poured or block basements

How does indoor air quality testing work in Belleville?

1. Monitor placement. One or more continuous monitors go in the rooms where the family spends its time.
2. 48 hours of data. Readings are logged at one-minute intervals through normal daily life.
3. Written report. You see each pollutant against its healthy range, with the specific fix for anything outside it.

What happens after the indoor air quality results?

The report names the problem, and Air Sense Environmental installs the fix it calls for: an AprilAire whole-home dehumidifier for high humidity, an energy recovery ventilator for stale air and rising CO2, or a radon mitigation system when radon is at or above 4.0 pCi/L. The main indoor air quality testing page covers the equipment and the full process.

How much does indoor air quality testing cost in Belleville, IL?
