Formaldehyde Testing
ESG offers on-site analysis for airborne formaldehyde vapor. The test device provides a detection range of 0-0.4 ppm with a measurement in only 30 minutes, satisfying the requirements for the new World Health Organization level of 0.08 ppm.
Formaldehyde is found in many building products and furniture, and research indicates that many newer homes have unsafe levels of this gas in the air. ESG's own testing of new and existing homes often produces surprising data with formaldehyde levels registering above established threshold levels.
