Indoor Air Quality in Edwardsville, IL

Indoor air quality testing in Edwardsville, IL measures particulate matter, chemical vapors (VOCs), carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours, with radon as an optional add-on. Air Sense Environmental places a continuous monitor in Edwardsville homes and delivers a written report showing which readings sit outside healthy ranges and what to fix.

What does an indoor air quality test measure in a Edwardsville 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 Edwardsville homeowners test indoor air quality?

Edwardsville is home to Air Sense Environmental’s headquarters, and its housing mixes historic districts such as Leclaire and St. Louis Street, with stone foundations and crawl spaces, and newer subdivisions on poured basements. These are the situations and Edwardsville 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
• Historic homes in the Leclaire and St. Louis Street districts with stone foundations, cellars or crawl spaces
• Mid-century ranches and split-levels between downtown and the SIUE campus

How does indoor air quality testing work in Edwardsville?

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.
