Indoor Air Quality in Eureka, MO

Indoor air quality testing in Eureka, MO 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 Eureka 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 Eureka 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 Eureka homeowners test indoor air quality?

Eureka sits in the Meramec River valley at the southwest edge of St. Louis County, where hillside subdivisions on rocky clay meet older homes on the flats near Central Avenue. These are the situations and Eureka 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
• Hillside homes with walkout basements in the subdivisions south and west of Interstate 44
• Older homes near Central Avenue and the original town core

How does indoor air quality testing work in Eureka?

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.
