Blue Pointbuilding biology

Whether it is specific chemical sampling for industry, office air quality concerns or complex mould contamination issues, we can help. We use only the latest and most advanced metering equipment available. All equipment is calibrated before use and calibration certificates are available on request. As building design and material experts we understand how buildings and air conditioning sytems behave and can therefore provide solutions to any problems discovered during the air quality assessment.

We breathe in about 8,500 litres of air per day and spend an average of 90% of our time indoors. Ensuring good air quality is essential for maintaining optimum health. This is critical as respiratory illnesses are directly related to toxic air quality environments. Air purification systems can help to ensure good quality indoor air in offices that depend on air conditioning systems to a great degree.  Air sampling / testing is very specific and specialised meters, gauges and other equipment are utilised in accordance with your specific needs and requirements. 

 

If laboratory tests and/or analyses are involved then we will utilise NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) approved laboratories.This would be required in the case of:

 

• Dust sampling

• Soil sampling

• Crystalline Silica Testing

• Specific VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) Testing

 

If laboratory analyses are not required then instantaneous results can be obtained on site. This would be the case in the following circumstances:

• Carbon Monoxide Testing

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Testing

• Nitrogen Dioxide

• Temperature Levels

• Relative Humidity Levels

• Testing gas leaks

• Ultrafine particle testing

• General VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) Testing

• Chlorine Gas Testing

 

What is involved in having air sampling / air testing conducted in my home or business?

• A Building Biologist will personally discuss your specific concerns and requirements.

• A Building Biologist will visit your site at a time that suits you best.

• Appropriate equipment will be secured and the specific air sampling / testing will be conducted.

• Samples may need to be sent to a NATA approved laboratory for analysis.

• Results will be explained and effective solutions will be provided.

• If required a formal written report detailing all readings and recommendations will be provided.
