Fast, Dependable Results when it Matters the Most
What Is Air Particulate Testing?
Air particulate testing measures the concentration and type of airborne particles in your indoor environment. These particles include allergens, dust, mold spores, asbestos fibers, and even fine particles like PM2.5 that can penetrate deep into your lungs. EnvioCore offers certified air sampling to identify hidden contaminants impacting your health and indoor air quality.

Our Clients
When Is Air Particulate Testing Recommended?
- After renovation, construction, or demolition
- If you’re experiencing allergy-like symptoms, respiratory issues, or unexplained fatigue
- When mold, asbestos, or lead paint may have been disturbed
- Before moving into an older or recently remodeled home
- As part of a clearance test following abatement or deep cleaning
- In child-occupied spaces or elder care settings
- During real estate transactions or IAQ evaluations
What Types of Particles Do We Test For?
Depending on your situation, we may test for:
- PM10 and PM2.5 – inhalable particles linked to asthma, heart and lung issues
- Mold spores – can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory conditions
- Asbestos fibers – dangerous carcinogens from disturbed materials
- Lead dust – harmful especially to children and pregnant women
- Silica dust – from construction, tile cutting, or stonework
- General dust and allergens – including pet dander, pollen, and skin cells
Why Is Indoor Air Particle Testing Important?
Many airborne particles are invisible and pose serious health risks—especially to children, the elderly, and individuals with asthma or immune conditions. Testing provides:
- Peace of mind before occupancy or reentry
- Compliance with EPA, OSHA, and CDPHE clearance requirements
- A basis for proper filtration, cleaning, or remediation strategies
- Documentation for real estate, insurance, or health investigations
Health Concerns Related to Airborne Particles
Chronic or high exposure can lead to:
- Asthma or allergy flare-ups
- Sinus congestion or coughing
- Eye and throat irritation
- Cardiovascular and respiratory disease
- Long-term neurological effects (especially with lead or asbestos)

How Air Particulate Testing Works
- Site Evaluation
- We review concerns, recent work (e.g., sanding, demolition), and property layout.
- Sample Collection
- Air is drawn through a filter over a defined time period (e.g., 30–60 minutes), capturing particles on specialized media.
- Lab Analysis
- Samples are sent to an accredited lab for particle identification and quantification (gravimetric analysis, microscopy, or PCR if needed).
- Results & Reporting
- Your report includes particle levels, comparison to guidelines, and clear recommendations.
Preparing for Your Inspection
To ensure accurate results:
- Avoid sweeping, vacuuming, or opening windows before sampling
- Do not use air purifiers or fans during testing
- Inform us of recent renovations, abatement, or visible debris
- Identify concern areas (bedrooms, basements, HVAC vents, etc.)
Final Report and Results
You’ll receive:
- A list of sample locations and types of particulates detected
- Particle concentrations (μg/m³ or fibers/cm³)
- Health-based or regulatory thresholds comparison
- Recommendations for cleaning, filtration, or remediation
Air Particulate Testing FAQs
Yes. Mold and VOCs are specific contaminants—particulate testing checks for all airborne particles, including mold spores, dust, lead, and asbestos.
Most samples run for 30–60 minutes. Full lab results typically return in 3–5 business days.
Not always, but it’s often required after abatement work, or when children with asthma or EBLL are present.
Yes. Your report compares results to EPA, OSHA, or WHO thresholds and includes recommendations.
