Surface & Environmental Testing
Surface Contamination
Quick Definition
Toxic residues on household surfaces from smoke, chemicals, or environmental pollutants that require specialized testing
Surface contamination refers to toxic substances that settle on household surfaces including furniture, walls, floors, and personal items. This contamination can persist long after the initial exposure event.
What You Need to Know
Surface contamination is often invisible but can continue exposing your family to toxins through direct contact or re-suspension into air. Common contaminants include heavy metals, PAHs, pesticides, and chemical residues.
Why It Matters for Your Home
Children are especially vulnerable because they frequently touch surfaces and put their hands in their mouths. Surface contamination can persist for months or years without proper removal, creating ongoing health risks.
How to Test Surfaces
Professional testing uses wipe sampling to collect contamination from specific surfaces. Laboratory analysis identifies and quantifies toxic substances, guiding targeted cleanup efforts.
When to Get Professional Help
If your home has been exposed to smoke, flooding, chemical spills, or you suspect contamination, professional surface testing provides the data needed for safe and effective cleanup.
