Particulates


 

Do YOU have particulates in your environment?

Don't worry! Your Bye Bye Mold team can find particulates, detect them, and measure them, regardless of type or concentration! You don't have to wait weeks for lab results; we can test for you immediately, for your peace of mind!

A particulate is a small discrete mass of solid or liquid matter that remains individually dispersed in gas or liquid emissions. The term particulate is usually referred to when discussing an atmospheric pollutant. Mold spores are also considered as particulate material because the airborne spores are dispersed in environmental air in varying concentrations.



Inhaling high levels of mold spores can cause asthma attacks in affected individuals. Exposure to high concentrations of mold spores is one cause of allergic immune response in anyone. Elderly, youthful or infirm individuals are the first to be affected, but no one is "immune." High concentrations of any particulate like mold is a danger factor in tightly constructed new homes. Outdoor air contains environmental levels of mold; trapped inside a tightly built new home, high levels are an indication that corrective action needs to be taken.

As you can see in this chart from the 1930's, mold sampling technology has been with us a while; but we use state of the art technology which can immediately measure particulate levels in the environment.

  • Our detection range is from 0.3 to 10 microns.
