Volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis
An initial assessment of total VOC content in a sample area, with a full breakdown available if needed.
When to use it
VOC (volatile organic compound) analysis is used to check air quality where off-gassing from materials, finishes or microbial activity is a concern, for example following fire or water damage, or where an unusual odour is reported and its source isn’t obvious.
How sampling works
An initial assessment measures total VOC content in the air of the space being tested. Where a more detailed picture is needed, a full compositional breakdown by spectral analysis can be carried out to identify which specific compounds are present.
What’s in the report
The report gives a total VOC reading and (where requested) a breakdown of the individual compounds detected.
