Improve Indoor Air Quality
Align With Nature
Breathing clean air is critical to good health, brain function, blood pressure, stress management and host of other health benefits. It’s vital and since we spend over 90% of our time indoors, it seems reasonable to ensure that our indoor air is healthy, but it’s not! The EPA reports that indoor air is 10x more polluted than outdoors. Let’s work to improve indoor air where you live, work and play that benefits your health, vitality and longevity.

Indoor Air Pollution
Do you have ongoing fatigue, headaches, or congestion? Have you been exposed to mold unknowingly? Do you have unexplained health symptoms with no relief? Do you know about Sick Building Syndrome? Or maybe you’re feeling “fine,”and just want support for greater vitality, longevity, and overall wellness.
Many of the stressors affecting our health aren’t always visible. Indoor air pollutants, environmental toxins, EMFs, mold, actinobacteria, biotoxins (endo- and exotoxins), furnishings, cleaning products, and even certain building materials can impact the body over time — sometimes without obvious warning signs. From mild symptoms to more severe illnesses, indoor air pollution is a major health hazard as part of the 2026 Healthy Home trends hitting mainstream.
Check out the indoor air sources and common health symptoms below that have been uncovered from over 20 years of research on invisible health hazards, then let’s work on the invisible factors inside your indoor space that may be quietly impacting your well-being.
Typical Sources
- Building Envelope
- Air Ventilation
- Heavy Mechanical Equipment (HVAC, Water Heater, etc.)
- Temperature & Humidity
- Lighting, Color & Sound
- VOCs, MVOCs
- Radon
- Water, Sewer & Gas Supply Systems
- Moisture Concerns
- Molds, mycotoxins, actinobacterias,and biotoxins (endo- and exotoxins)
- Cleaning & Laundry Products
- Household Furnishing
- Water Quality
- …and much more

Improve Indoor Air Services
Buildings are a system, much like the human body. The different components that make up the building system operate in correlation with each other to create the indoor environments. Building Biologist and Indoor Enironmental Professional (IEP), Lynne Whte identifies and where applicable, measures pollutants from the building’s air, water, energy and interior circulations, as well as any system failures. After determining the risk level, she offers Good-Better-Best remediation options to improve indoor air for healthy homes and healthy businesses. IAQ Assessments may include:
-
- Indoor Air Ventilation Evaluation
- Particulate Matter Evaluation
- Unwanted Gases Evaluation
- Building materials and construction
- Heating, air conditioning and ventilation system (HVAC)
- Site location influence
- Roof, Attic, Crawlspace Inspection
- Cleaning & laundry products Evaluation
- Interior Furnishings & Finishes
- Sound, light flicker and color
- Solar, Pools, EV Car Chargers
- Sewer systems and other utilities
- Indoor Temperature & Humidity
- Appliances (W/D, kitchen. water heater)
- Water supply system
- Water / Moisture Damage
- Infrared Thermography
- Water Intrusion
- Exterior Water Management
- Mold Inspection
IAQ Testing
Testing for indoor environmental toxins occurs based on visible inspections, health symptoms, client requests, environmental conditions, etc. to help collect scientific data on particulates, mold species, VOCs, chemicals, or other pollutants, as much as possible. Lynne can assist with testing directly, coordinating local testing resources where local or state laws require it or due to distance, and/or help to interpret the results for understanding the environmental conditions, then suggest remediation options.
Lynne is also willing to collaborate with your health professional(s) (i.e., Naturopathic Doctor (ND), Environmental Medical Doctor, Nurse Practitioner (NP), etc.) in discerning testing results, correlating with IAQ Assessment findings or other information to unravel the situation, find sources and develop solutions.
Testing may include, but is not limited to:
-
- Water Quality Testing
- Material Moisture Testing
- Particulate Matter Testing
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO) Testing
- Radon Testing
- Formaldehyde Testing
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Testing
- Actino Testing
- Bacteria Testing
- Biotoxin Testing (endotoxins)
- Mold Testing
- ERMI, HERTSMI, EMMA
- Mycotoxins
- Swabs, Tape Life, Dust Sample Collection, Bulk Samples
- Culture Test and Air Samples
- …and more, as applicable

The
Assessment
Process
Discovery
Let’s get on the same page!
- We’ll start by talking about your indoor air concerns, interests, and questions, as well as what you’d like to accomplish.
- From there, we go over current health symptoms or preexisting health conditions, if any, and what you’ve tried.
- Next, Lynne will propose an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessment for you to review and decide what you’d like to do.
During this step, Lynne will educate you on how the building systems work together and some easy tips for improving indoor air quality.
Assessment
Using the 38-year proven Building Biology Institute’s (BBI) building science and physics approach, Lynne gets to work on:
- assessing your space (i.e., building) by identifying and recording observational findings, and testing indoor air, as necessary;
- comparing those findings and measurements against Building Biology’s No-Slight-Severe-Extreme Concern Health Guidelines that are far lower than big regulatory agencies like the EPA; and
- indicating what needs No-Recommended-Definite-Immediate Action, so you can easily prioritize.
During the Assessment step, education and tips continue.
Findings & Suggestions
In this final step, Lynne makes a determination of up to three tiered Good-Better-Best Options for improving indoor air, as best as possible. These suggestions are done verbally and/or in a handwritten report packed with a hefty Appendix of Information and Resources. Need a more formal report? Just ask.
You choose what to implement or not, and to what degree and when. If you need assistance from Lynne in implementing any suggestions, that may be explored here, or at a later date – call anytime.
