Indoor Air Quality Assessment

Breathe California of the Bay Area's Indoor Air Quality Assessment program helps residents detect air pollutants in the home that can have a negative impact on individuals with Asthma. Studies show that the indoor air quality is often worse than the air outside. This service helps residents identify indoor hazards and maintain a healthy house air quality.

Assessors often find that a homeowner is the greatest contributor to unhealthy living conditions. By simply maintaining a cleaner home environment, residents can help reduce indoor air pollutants significantly. Our trained assessors employ a step-by-step approach, on ways to improve the air quality in your home, which includes:

• Surveillance of home, school, or child care center: Prior to the inspection, assessors will conduct a general surveillance of the property
• Walk through: During the walk through, assessors look for factors that are hazardous to the indoor living environment, which may include areas of mold, dust, and/or pet dander
• Recommendations: Assessors will help make on-site recommendations to residents. This can include improving the home's air circulation or maintaining a cleaner indoor environment
• Final analysis: Upon completion, the assessor will put together a final report for the homeowner. This overall evaluation includes the hazards, which were identified, and the recommendations that were made.​
