There are many different contaminants in indoor environments that can cause or aggravate allergies. Dust, for example, can contain a multitude of allergens including dust mites, animal dander and mold spores. Unfortunately, common allergens often get overlooked in a routine evaluation of a building for indoor environmental contaminants. Certified K-9 Inspections offers allergen screening including: *Complete visual inspection of the interior of the residential structure. *Dust sampling using a dust collection device with a 30 micron screen. *Analysis of collected samples by an accredited laboratory performing an immunoassay for cat allergen, dog allergen, cockroach allergen and dust mite allergen. * Full data interpretation of analytical results to include a summary page indicating the presence of contaminates above threshold limit values reported by laboratory data. *Reference report with EPA recommended guidelines for self clean-up or referral to an appropriate specialist.

*EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risk to public health. *Acording to the American College of Allergist, 50 pecent of all illnesses are either caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air. *Exposure to dust mites, cat saliva, animal dander and mold is estimated to cause at least 200,00 emergency room visits by asthma patients each year. *42,000 dust mites can live in 1 ounce of dust.
