Good Morning!THE NEW PREDICT VOC SCREENING TEST KITThis is a way to test for hidden mold in the walls. VOCs like mycotoxins are gasses that travel through the walls into the air of your home. PREDICTâ„¢ VOC Screening Test Kit provides a simple, economical screening of indoor air quality by testing for total levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Mold VOCs (actively growing mold behind walls or carpeting). These two index numbers are excellent indicators of the overall indoor air quality of a home.
What are VOCs?
VOCs are chemicals that are emitted as gases from solids or liquids and easily evaporated into the air at room temperature. Concentrations of these chemicals can be up to 100 times higher indoors than outdoors. Thousands of products, many that we use or are exposed to every day, emit VOCs into the air while they are being used, and even when they are stored. All VOCs have the potential to be harmful, and there are even a few common VOCs that can be particularly dangerous to our health. Symptoms such as frequent headaches, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, coughing, wheezing, and eye, nose and throat irritation can be indicators that the quality of air in your home is poor - especially if these symptoms subside once you leave the house. Other more serious health problems that can arise with poor indoor air quality are asthma exacerbation, digestive problems, and damage to the liver, kidneys and central nervous system. Some air contaminants are so harmful that they can even cause cancer.
