Welcome to American Air Testing
Specializing in:

Post Asbestos/Bacterial/Chemical Abatements Projects
We are Indoor Environmental Professionals who are qualified by knowledge, skill, education, training, certifications and experience. Our qualification allow all of our employees to perform an assessment of the condition of structures, systems, and contents at a job site, create a sampling strategy, sample the indoor environment and submit samples to an appropriate laboratory, interpret laboratory data and determine Condition 1, 2, or 3 for the purpose of establishing a scope of work and verifying the return of the job site to a normal ecology.
We provide consulting and testing of indoor air pollution from water damage, sewage or other environmental pollutants promptly and with current knowledge and equipment.
We also are sympathetic to the impact environmental pollution and its cleanup can create in your life. When we make our recommendations for cleanup and repairs, we are sensitive to both costs and liability.
We understand the value of health and can assist you in eliminating dampness. Damp buildings are ideal environments for dust mites and cockroaches, mold and other microbial agents. Excessive moisture also contributes to degradation of the building materials and personal or business property.
Our onsite environmental evaluation of your project may include:
Indoor air quality is negatively impacted by any water leaks. Leaks can originate outside the building (such as from a roof or window leak) or inside the building (such as a plumbing leak or elevated interior humidity from lack of ventilation or insulation). Lifestyle issues may also be a contributing factor to the indoor air quality. Damp indoor environments favor dust mites and microbial growth, standing water supports cockroach and rodent infestations, and excessive moisture may initiate chemical emissions from building materials and furnishings.

WHO Publishes IAQ Guidelines on Dampness and Mold (Copenhagen and Bonn) — 16 July 2009: WHO published its first guidelines on indoor air quality, addressing dampness and mold. They are the result of a rigorous two-year review of the currently available science by 36 leading experts worldwide, coordinated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe. The authors conclude that occupants of damp or moldy buildings, both private and public, have up to a 75% greater risk of respiratory symptoms and asthma.
The guidelines recommend the prevention or remediation of dampness and mold-related problems to significantly reduce harm to health. For details on the guidelines and to download a copy free, visit
