Air Monitoring

Here at DG Environmental, we offer many different types of air monitoring to best suit your project. Materials such as asbestos, mould, lead, and silica can pose a great risk to your health if inhaled, so it’s crucial to ensure none of these materials are left lingering in the air.

Types of Air Monitoring

Asbestos Air monitoring

Asbestos air monitoring occurs during the abatement process (removal of ACM). Pumps are set up both inside and outside of the contained work space to monitor the amount of asbestos fibers in the air. This ensures the safety of the workers handling your project, as well as the surrounding community.

Asbestos air monitoring takes a minimum of 4 hours, with results available in as little as one business day.

Mold Air monitoring

Over time, even small amounts of moisture in your home can promote the growth of mold spores. While some types of mold are more harmful than others, inhaling mold spores of any kind can wreak havoc on your respiratory system.

Testing the air in your home for mold takes less than an hour of your time, and you can have peace of mind in as little as one business day.

Asbestos Air Clearance

Asbestos air clearance occurs after all ACM have been effectively removed from your home. At this stage, all surfaces have been cleaned, and any remaining dust has been glued down and secured, therefore unable to re-enter the air. One of our highly trained technicians will then set up pumps inside of the secured containment to determine if the air is now clean, and can be released back into the environment. 

Asbestos air clearance takes a minimum of 2.5 hours, with results in as little as one business day.

In the case of a partial renovation, asbestos air clearance can also be used to ensure that no asbestos fibers have made their way into your untouched living spaces. 

Lead Air Monitoring

Lead is typically found in the paint used on older homes and buildings. When this paint is being removed, small dust particles are released into the air, and without proper protection, these particles can be inhaled into your lungs. Unlike asbestos and mold, lead, when ingested, enters your bloodstream, causing a variety of symptoms ranging from behavioral issues, to seizures and coma.
