Health Hazard Evaluation

Do you feel that your home or workplace may be making you sick?  Mold may be the culprit, but there are several other indoor pollutants that can cause allergy, cold or flu-like symptoms.

ESG’s Health Hazard Evaluation involves a thorough inspection of your home or office to identify sources of airborne irritants, including mold, dirty HVAC equipment, furnishings, pet dander, insect parts, fragrances and household cleaners.  Designed to provide the client with information about illness-causing indoor hazards, the HHE involves collection of extensive air quality readings and recording levels of different airborne constituents that can cause health symptoms. We then compare the levels found to those recommended by professional or government organizations and medical practitioners. We also compare the readings to those recorded at other properties like yours.

What does ESG measure at a Health Hazard Evaluation? Total VOCs, CO, CO₂, ambient temperature and relative humidity, and airborne respirable particles. These are the items most likely to cause discomfort and are the most common sources of airborne irritation in a building. ESG logs all of the data in a handheld device and provides you with this data in a color-coded chart so you have a permanent record of our findings.

An optional HHE Report provides you with a high quality record and analysis of findings to include recommendations for improvement. The HHE Report is useful when others need to be aware of ESG’s findings.
