Indoor Air Quality Testing in Metro Atlanta & Georgia
Certified indoor air quality testing for Georgia homes. VOCs, formaldehyde, particulates, CO2, humidity, and biological contaminants. Independent lab analysis.
What Indoor Air Quality Testing Measures
VOCs & Formaldehyde
Volatile organic compounds from building materials, paints, cleaning products, furniture, and flooring. Formaldehyde from new construction and cabinets.
Particulate Matter
PM2.5 and PM10 — dust, pollen, combustion particles, and other microscopic airborne irritants.
Biological Contaminants
Mold spores, bacteria, dust mite allergens, and other biological factors affecting air quality.
Environmental Factors
Carbon dioxide (CO2) for ventilation, Carbon monoxide (CO) for safety, relative humidity, and temperature differentials.
Who Needs Indoor Air Quality Testing
- Families with children, elderly members, or anyone with asthma, allergies, or respiratory conditions
- Homeowners after new construction, renovation, new flooring, or new furniture installation
- Anyone experiencing unexplained headaches, fatigue, eye irritation, or respiratory symptoms indoors
- Real estate buyers assessing a home's overall environmental health
- Commercial property owners and landlords with tenant health complaints
The IAQ Assessment Process
- Step 1: Intake consultationWe discuss your symptoms and concerns to prioritize what to test.
- Step 2: On-site assessmentMeasurement devices placed throughout the home to capture accurate readings.
- Step 3: Sample collectionAir samples collected where indicated.
- Step 4: Lab analysisSamples processed by accredited laboratory.
- Step 5: Written reportFindings by pollutant, health context, comparison to EPA and WHO guidelines, recommendations in plain language.
Professional IAQ Testing vs. Home Air Monitors
Many homeowners purchase consumer-grade devices like Airthings or Alen monitors. While these provide a helpful baseline, they are not a substitute for certified environmental testing. Here is why.
Consumer Home Monitors
- ✗Cannot Identify Specific VOCsThey measure "total VOCs" (tVOC) but cannot tell you if you are breathing harmless cooking odors or dangerous formaldehyde.
- ✗Cannot Detect Mold SporesMonitors test for humidity and generic particulates, but they cannot detect or identify mold spores in the air.
- ✗Radon Sensors Require Weeks to CalibrateThe radon sensors in consumer devices provide a rolling average and are not certified for real estate transactions.
Atlas Professional Testing
- ✓Exact Chemical IdentificationWe take physical air samples and send them to an accredited lab to tell you exactly which chemical compounds are present.
- ✓Direct Mold Spore AnalysisWe identify the exact species of mold and the precise spore count per cubic meter of air.
- ✓NRPP-Certified Radon MeasurementWe use calibrated Continuous Radon Monitors (CRMs) to provide legally defensible results in exactly 48 hours.
Choose Your Level of Assessment
Professional environmental testing requires specific scientific methods for different pollutants. We offer two distinct tiers to ensure you get exactly the data you need without paying for what you don't.
Standard IAQ Assessment
Based on ASHRAE & IAQA testing protocols
Ideal for immediate air quality concerns, musty odors, post-renovation off-gassing, or unexplained allergy and respiratory symptoms.
What's Included:
- VOC & Formaldehyde Testing
- Particulate Matter (PM2.5 / PM10)
- Mold Spore Air Sampling
- CO2, CO, & Humidity Profiling
- 1-to-3 Hour Active Walkthrough
Comprehensive IAQ + Radon
Includes EPA/NRPP 48-Hour Deployment
The ultimate environmental profile. Because radon gas is a leading health risk in Georgia, we bundle our Standard IAQ Assessment with certified radon measurement.
Everything in Standard, PLUS:
- 48-Hour Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM)
- NRPP-Certified Measurement Protocol
- EPA Action Level Comparison
- Real Estate Transaction Ready
- Combined Environmental Report
Why We Separate IAQ & Radon Testing
While consumer monitors try to guess at everything at once, professional testing requires distinct scientific methods. A technician cannot complete a certified radon test during a standard 2-hour IAQ walkthrough. Radon requires "closed building conditions" and a strict minimum of 48 hours to be legally defensible. We bundle them for your convenience, but we never compromise the science.
