During the assessment, the environmental professional will conduct a visual inspection of the property to identify potential sources of indoor air pollution, such as mold growth, water damage, and pest infestations. They may also use specialized equipment to measure the levels of indoor air pollutants, such as VOCs, particulate matter, and allergens.

The assessment may also include a review of the building’s HVAC system to ensure it is functioning properly and is not contributing to indoor air pollution. The professional may also evaluate the building’s ventilation system to ensure it is providing adequate fresh air to the occupants.

In addition, the environmental professional may conduct interviews with the occupants to identify any health concerns or symptoms that may be related to indoor air pollution. They may also review the building’s maintenance history and identify any previous environmental issues that have been addressed.

Based on the results of the assessment, the environmental professional may make recommendations for remediation and prevention of future environmental hazards. This may include recommendations for improving ventilation, repairing water damage, controlling humidity levels, and cleaning and removing mold and other indoor air pollutants.

Overall, an environmental assessment in a residential setting can help identify potential health hazards and risks, and can provide guidance for remediation and prevention of future issues to ensure a safe and healthy indoor environment for the occupants.
