POLLUTANTS

Blue Sky works with the popular mold/moisture, and other local indoor air pollutants.  Pollutants are either gases or particles:

Gases in the air

• Radon (from the ground usually)
• Odors (mold and others, like sewer gas)
• Carbon monoxide (CO) (from combustion)
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) (to check fresh air supply)
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Formaldehyde (a special VOC)
• Ozone (O3) (from high voltage arcing)
• Pesticides

Particles in air & on surfaces

• Mold spores
• Asbestos fibers
• Glass fibers (insulation, as “fiberglass”, “rock wool”, “mineral wool”
• other fibers (cellulose from paper & cotton, synthetics from clothing & carpets, hair
• skin flakes (“dander”) (a large number, used as a good marker for general dust levels)
• other dust particles (soil minerals, paint, pollen, spores, starch, soot, gypsum, tire wear, etc.)
• Pesticides
