Should you test the air in your home for mold?

"Should you test the air in your home for mold?" The simple answer to that question is emphatically, yes, you should. Particularly if you are looking to purchase a new home or condo. When you consider the fact that people spend about 90% of their time indoors, it makes sense that it is important to insure that the air in your home is safe to breathe. Mold is just one of the contaminants that can be detected by testing the air. Testing the air quality reveals other problems with biological pollutants such as mildew, animal dander, and dust mites. Testing is also important because of radon, which is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Don’t think that just because a home is new that it won't have these problems present. Whether the home is brand new or several years old, it is important to know that recent studies by the US Environmental Protection Agency showed that the air inside homes and buildings is on the average two to five times more polluted than the air in even the most industrial cities. Protect your health, your family, and those living in your home by getting the air tested today.
