Indoor Air Quality & Mold Testing – Surrey & the Lower Mainland
Alliance Home Inspections – Protecting Your Health & Home
Canadians spend about 90% of their time indoors — yet the air inside our homes, schools, and workplaces can contain pollutants that affect our health. Poor indoor air quality can be caused by chemicals, gases, and biological contaminants such as mold, bacteria, and pests.
Exposure to these pollutants can cause short-term symptoms like sore eyes, headaches, fatigue, and throat irritation, or long-term health issues including allergies, asthma, respiratory disease, heart problems, and even cancer. In severe cases — such as high levels of carbon monoxide — poor air quality can be deadly.
Improving indoor air quality isn’t just about comfort — it’s about protecting your health and that of your family.
Indoor Air Pollution & Health Risks
Immediate effects (after a single or repeated exposure):
-
Eye, nose, or throat irritation
-
Headaches or dizziness
-
Fatigue or malaise
-
Asthma flare-ups or allergic reactions
Long-term effects (after prolonged exposure):
-
Chronic respiratory illness
-
Heart disease

Certain cancers

Severe allergic or immune system reactions
If you notice symptoms that improve when you leave the building, it may be time to test your indoor air quality.

-
Allergies, sinus congestion, and chronic coughing

Asthma attacks and breathing difficulties
-
Headaches, dizziness, and fatigue
