Advanced Indoor Air Quality & Particle ID Testing

At Full Circle Home Inspectors, we offer Advanced Indoor Air Quality & Particle ID Testing as an expanded option alongside our Mold Indoor Air Quality Testing. While standard mold air sampling measures mold spore levels inside a home, Particle ID testing goes a step further by identifying and counting many other airborne particles that may affect indoor air quality.

This testing can identify over 40 different airborne particles and irritants, including:


  • Pet dander
  • Dust mites
  • Pollen
  • Fiberglass particles
  • Fabric and insulation fibers
  • Skin cells
  • Soot and smoke particles
  • Wood and construction debris
  • Paint and pigment particles
  • Various organic and inorganic debris


This service is especially helpful for individuals who:


  • Have allergies
  • Have asthma
  • Have autoimmune conditions
  • Are highly sensitive to indoor air quality
  • Experience unexplained respiratory or irritation symptoms inside the home


Many indoor air quality concerns are not always related to mold. Particle ID testing helps provide a more complete picture of what may be present in the air inside the home, which can help homeowners and their medical professionals make more informed decisions about their environment and health.


Particle ID testing can be performed along with mold air sampling or ordered by itself as a separate service. It uses the same air sampling spore trap method to collect air samples during the inspection. The laboratory then analyzes those samples to identify other airborne particles present.


If you or someone in your home is particularly sensitive to air quality, Advanced Indoor Air Quality & Particle ID Testing can be a valuable additional service to consider.
