About Us

Without air and water, humans cannot live. This is a simple fact even children know. Still, every day, millions of people breathe air and drink water that is far from quality. The danger this poses to human health is not to be understated.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), exposure to indoor air pollutants can have serious health ramifications. “Some health effects may show up shortly after a single exposure or repeated exposures to a pollutant. These include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Soon after exposure…symptoms of some diseases such as asthma may show up, be aggravated or worsened.” Those symptoms are just the short-term effects!

The EPA goes on to explain “Other health effects may show up either years after exposure has occurred or only after long or repeated periods of exposure. These effects, which include some respiratory diseases, heart disease and cancer, can be severely debilitating or fatal.”

Clearly, the quality of the air we breathe is no small matter. With an average of 90% of our lives spent indoors, we simply cannot afford the health risks of breathing polluted air in our homes and offices.

Due to the reality of the danger poor indoor air quality poses, Air Quality Consultants is committed to thoroughly testing for pollutants to the air supply in your residential or commercial property. 

The EPA itself recommends “It is prudent to try to improve the indoor air quality in your home even if symptoms are not noticeable.”

As humans, our bodies are made up primarily of water. Interestingly, the human body requires about one gallon of water every day to function properly. 

Now, imagine if the gallon of water we drink daily is carrying dangerous bacteria or harmful pollutants, such as lead? The negative health effects may be far reaching.

That is why the World Health Organization (WHO) works to qualify the danger of the consumption of lead. WHO explains that “Young children are particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of lead and can suffer profound and permanent adverse health effects, particularly affecting the development of the brain and nervous system.” The WHO adds that high lead levels can lead to “increased risk of high blood pressure and kidney damage” in adults as well as pose serious risk to unborn babies whose mothers have been exposed to lead.

Whether from lead in your water supply, exposure to lead paint in your home, or another source, lead and other pollutants, such as waterborne diseases are a serious threat. Never underestimate the danger of a compromised water supply.
