- Do you think that you may have mold in your Home or business?
The need for clean air indoors cannot be underestimated – quite literally, invisible indoor air pollutants can make you and your family sick. Now, thanks to Canary Air Quality Assurance®, vital facts about the quality of the air in your home and steps you can take to make improvements are a mouse click away.
We spend an average of 90% of our time inside; and the air indoors contains many substances that may be hazardous to our health. These pollutants range from minor irritants such as dust and animal dander, to major concerns like molds and chemical vapors that may come from building materials and furnishings. At Canary Air Quality Assurance®, our research and development experts have created the most advanced air monitoring system that is both affordable and reliable. With Canary Air Quality Assurance’s® innovative technology, your home’s air is scientifically analyzed, and a detailed report is issued including suggestions for corrective measures.
Six key air quality factors, recognized as critical by Canada's Healthy Indoors Partnership (HIP), are analyzed and compared to acceptable levels. These factors include: temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, particles and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs).

Exploring the Basics of Indoor Air Quality:
Dust - Respirable Particles
Click for a larger viewDust and airborne particulates can be irritating to the upper respiratory system and will adversely affect individuals with existing allergies, asthma, and respiratory diseases. Long term exposure to dust and airborne particulate may also pose a risk for people who currently do not experience respiratory symptoms. Air-borne pollutants are either biological (mould, dust mites, pollen, animal dander) or originate from other sources (gases or chemical particles released by furnishings, carpets, construction materials, unvented appliances, renovation activities including dust from lead paint, poorly-maintained heating systems, humidifiers and dehumidifiers).

What you should know about House Dust
Click for a larger viewHouse Dust is a broad terms for an ever-changing and ever-present substance
House Dust is the result of the natural decomposition of the things we have in our homes along with dust that infiltrates from the outside. Wherever it comes from, it is a prime symptom of poor indoor Air Quality and causes a lot of symptoms for the allergic person.
What is in house dust?
The composition of house duct has changed over time and varies from house to house. Generally, you might find textile fibers, decomposing insect parts, pet dander, human and animal hair, food leftovers, pollen grains, mold spores, bacteria, skin flakes, insulation, sand, and the ever present dust mite and its fecal material.
What increases the amount of dust in a house?
Carpets, draperies, ruffled items, knickknacks, books, magazines, pets, upholstered furniture, animals and pillows, and fireplaces are some things that may increase dust levels. Infrequent cleaning or cleaning with a vacuum cleaner without a high efficiency filtering device, high traffic levels, location of the house, type of yard, and their condition of the central air system all contribute to the amount of dust in your home. For example, if you are in a new neighborhood where there is a lot of construction and the yards are not sodden with grass, you will have more dust in your home.
