 Dust Mites and Insect Fragments

Many indoor air quality projects revolve around arthropods.  Spiders, Dust Mites and Cockroaches have been pin pointed as the cause of such problems as skin irritation and asthmatic attacks.  Testing is simple and can aid in the rapid removal of such pests.  

Sampling can be performed by glove bag, micro-vacuum, tape lift and, in the case of carpet, vacuuming with a clean vacuum cleaner bag.  The dust is double bagged in ``Zip-Lock" style bags and submitted for analysis.
