Ensure the air in your home is safe with LCS Laboratory Inc.’s expert testing for toxic gases produced by Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI or UFI).Purpose of the Service
UFFI, once a common insulation material, is now banned in Canada due to its emission of formaldehyde, a toxic gas that poses health risks. Our air quality testing service detects and quantifies formaldehyde levels in residential air, helping you determine whether your home meets Health Canada’s safety standards and ensuring a healthy living environment.
Technical Details of the Test
Our testing process is simple, accurate, and compliant with standard methods:
- Sampling Kit: We provide sampling devices to be placed throughout your home for 24 hours to collect air samples.
- Sample Collection: After exposure, you seal, label, and return the samplers to our laboratory.
- Chemical Analysis: The samplers adsorb formaldehyde, which we extract and analyse using the OSHA USA-approved method.
- Reporting: We calculate the formaldehyde concentration in the air and report the results in parts per million (ppm). For reference, Health Canada defines a safe level of formaldehyde in residential air as 0.04 ppm (40 ppb).

- Precise Analysis: Our laboratory uses advanced methods to ensure accurate and reliable results.
