We love our houses and in return, we expect them to be nice to use. They protect us from the rough environments, cold, heat, wind, and even diseases. But sometimes, our home may become a threat to our health. This happens when chemical fumes, excessive moisture, mold, dust, and allergens build up in the air of our houses causing us discomfort or illness. In engineering literature, it is called the “Sick Building Syndrome” (SBS). The term is used to describe a situation in which the occupants of a building experience acute health- or comfort-related effects that seem to be linked directly to the time spent in the building.
LCS Laboratory developed a great number of testing procedures that are used to investigate air quality problems. All our techniques are supported by our own testing laboratory, which allows us to deliver the best quality results at the most competitive rates.

- Formaldehyde and other Organic Solvents are responsible for the “chemical” smell of new flooring, UFFI insulation, and of new furniture. Formaldehyde is carcinogenic at concentrations above 100 PPB. Call us to check if your house is safe.
