VOC and Formaldehyde Testing
Exposure to VOCs and Formaldehyde can be hazardous and can lead to serious health effects such as respiratory irritation, difficulty thinking, organ damage and cancer. Small children and pets with developing lungs are especially susceptible. Some chemical chains are much more dangerous than others, that’s why its important to identify their presence. Levels in homes can exceed exterior levels by up to 5 times, especially in new construction or homes that have been newly remodeled. We can help to identify this risk and reduce exposure.

What is VOC and Formaldehyde?
- VOC stands for volatile organic compounds. VOCs are gases that are emitted from solids and/or liquid chemical compounds. VOCs can include a wide range of chemicals. Each type of chemical compound (aka chemical chain) can have different health impacts ranging from short-term to long-term. There are thousands of types arranged into many different chemical categories.
- Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring organic compound. Formaldehyde is used in a variety of industrially manufactured materials. In abundance formaldehyde can have negative health impacts similar to VOC exposure. We typically test for Formaldehyde along with VOCs.
Who should test for VOC and Formaldehyde?
- New construction, renovations or additions
