Pure Air is known for providing accurate and comprehensive results obtained through extensive interdisciplinary team of industrial hygienist, building scientists, microbiologists, engineers, and medical professionals. It is one of very few companies that utilize its laboratories and multidisciplinary capabilities to focus strictly on IAQ.

“Pure Air’s avoidance procedures take into account in-house protective and mitigation measures that have a marked therapeutic effect to occupants,” says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Jorge Moreno. “For instance, when evaluating an occupant complaint involving coughing or sneezing, Pure Air can determine the potential cause effect relationships.”

Pure Air’s solutions then assess the extent of contamination that exists in homes and businesses. The evaluation provides consumers with an understanding of what conditions are considered ‘normal’ for establishing a base line.

The results highlight any discrepancies found within the ‘normal’ indoor environment, aiding effective remediation by pinpointing the exact areas that need improvement. Providing a remediation plan to eliminate existing as well as possible IAQ issues is critical to Pure Air’s total solution approach. The company develops, designs, and assists in the implementation of protocols established to eliminate the causes of poor IAQ.

“Pure Air remediation division, Building Remediation Sciences uses state-of-the-art mold remediation equipment HEPA filter cleaning components and technology along with proprietary cleaning methods,” notes Moreno. “The company’s scientists also employ the of use Environmental Cryogenics Technology – designed to avoid damage to buildings – in order to clean hard surfaces and treat mold-contaminated wood, dry wall, and other building materials.”

Pure Air also offers a Building Health Check developed for end users with tight budgets to provide less expensive, basic, second-tier level evaluations.
