your family sick?
Respiratory-related illnesses such as
asthma are on the rise. We spend an
average of 90% of our time inside; and
the air indoors contains many substances
that may be hazardous to our health.
These pollutants range from minor irritants
such as dust and animal dander, to
major concerns like moulds and chemical
vapours that may come from building
materials and furnishings.
With our innovative and portable air quality
monitor, your home’s air is scientifically
analyzed, and a detailed 100% accurate
report is issued including suggestions for
corrective measures.
The test is fast and easy and you will have
your results in 72 hours. This is a small
investment in the health of your family and
home environment, and the benefits have
an immediate payoff.
