What is Assessed?

In a nutshell, these are the areas commonly covered by my building biology audits. If you need something different, do not hesitate to ask because as an experienced building biologist, I can tailor an audit to suit your needs.

The following is the basis of what is assessed in Eco Health Solutions building biology audits.

Please be assured that whatever I identify as a potential hazard will be accompanied by solutions and action steps to mitigate the problem. So, no need to worry as I won’t leave you in the dark!


Indoor Air Quality Indoor air quality is assessed for contaminants – such as fragrances; ambient air pollution of the indoor air; off-gassing of furniture, furnishings and finishes; dust and dust mites; building materials and so forth. Areas that are measured can include (and depend on what is presenting, the history and your concerns) lead and other heavy metals carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, combustion gases VOCs (important in new construction) formaldehyde (important in new construction) particulate matter There is a vast array of other possible indoor air contaminants to assess, and this may require the hiring of equipment suited to your home, in particular. Please discuss your concerns when booking.	Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Using professional specialised equipment, I assess the following forms of EMF in my audits: ELF AC electric fields ELF AC magnetic fields high frequency powerflux density high frequency transient spikes (aka “dirty electricity”) * Please note that body voltage is rarely used, as it is only useful for assessing ELF AC Electric Fields when someone is laying in bed	Mould and Water-Damage Water damaged buildings can pose an enormous risk to health. Whether or not mould is visible or you can smell it, it may still be present. I use infrared thermal imaging and moisture meters. In consultation with you, I may conduct: pre-mould testing (ATP swabs) to ascertain the need for further sampling surface and/or air samples for laboratory analysis ERMI tests to determine the total mould/biotoxin burden

Allergens Samples can be taken to assess for a range of allergens, these include: house dust mites cats dogs cockroaches House dust mites can be tested on the spot. If all four are to be tested, these are all sent to an approved laboratory.	Lead and Heavy Metals Lead testing is very important, particularly when working to reduce your blood lead levels. Spot tests can be carried out onsite to determine the presence of lead in paints and other materials. Samples are often collected for laboratory analysis – from ceiling dust, soil, paint chips, house dust and more.	Drinking Water Depending on your needs, your homes reticulation system and history, water sampling may be conducted. copper (if appropriate) 24 metals other tests may be carried out if required
