In the indoor environment, settled dust can contain a variety of allergens. The nature, type, and contents of dust can vary depending on the time and environment. The assessment of allergens in a dust sample is an essential component of allergen avoidance and taking measures to reduce allergens. Additionally, this contributes to managing the indoor environment regarding health, hygiene, and well-being.
Testing Process: Your test kit will be mailed to you along with everything needed for the testing process. Once you complete the test, you will return it to the lab using the postage-paid envelope provided. Your results will be emailed in PDF format in 10-14 business days after the lab receives your test.
*** At least 1 gram (1 Tablespoon) of solid dust collection is needed for analysis.
*** This kit is designed to collect dust from carpeting, so it will be best not to vacuum the floor too closely to the testing date
*** Even if you do not have carpeted flooring, you can still collect dust from almost any surface as long as there is enough dust available for sampling.
*** This test uses a cone-shaped filter device called the Bio-Scan Dust Sock, which is to be connected to the intake end of your vacuum cleaner hose for sampling.
Your Results: EDLab (Environmental Diagonostics Laboratory), accredited by the AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association), will provide a final report included in the cost of the test. The report will show specific information for each allergen identified as measured in terms of micrograms of allergen per gram of dust sample. A toll-free phone number for the lab is provided if you should have any questions concerning your results.
