S4H-QAI

Complete test kit to measure Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and aldehydes in indoor air in homes and offices. Measures over 60 VOCs and aldehydes.

Indoor air contains many toxic chemicals, and testing it allows you to take steps to protect your health on a daily basis.

Indoor air is 5 to 10 times more polluted than outdoor air, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the main indoor air pollutants.

Measuring their concentration in indoor air should be a priority, as they can pose a real health risk to occupants.

This kit is recommended for pregnant women, young children, and people with respiratory conditions (such as asthma, emphysema, etc.).

This testing kit can also be used after renovation work or when purchasing furniture.

What's included in your Scan4Home Indoor Air Quality Kit?

Your testing kit contains all the supplies you need to collect your sample, and it includes analysis of your sample; the results will be sent to you in a comprehensive test report.

  • A Scan4Air VOC sampler
  • A Scan4Air Aldehydes sampler
  • Instructions for use
  • A sample collection form to return to the lab with your sample
  • Laboratory analysis of your sample
  • A comprehensive report on pollution in your everyday home environment
  • A guide to identifying sources of pollution and reducing your daily exposure

Which VOCs and aldehydes are being tested for in your indoor air sample?

The chemical class of VOCs includes more than 400 substances. The analysis of your indoor air sample focuses on the VOCs and aldehydes most commonly found in indoor air and considered to be of greatest concern by health authorities, including aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene...), hydrocarbons (decane, undecane, etc.), chlorinated solvents (perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, etc.), terpenes (limonene, pinene, etc.), and aldehydes and ketones (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, etc.).

The analysis of your air sample focuses on an exclusive selection of more than 60 VOCs:

How do you collect an indoor air sample using your Scan4Home Kit?

Your testing kit contains a Scan4Air VOC sensor and a Scan4Air Aldehydes sensor, which will absorb pollutants from the ambient air. They are specifically designed for collecting indoor air samples.

The Scan4Air sensors should be placed in a room in your home and exposed to indoor air for 7 days.

Once the 7 days have passed, send your air sample to the laboratory for analysis.

How do you send in your indoor air sample?

Once you have finished collecting your indoor air samples, send them—along with the completed collection form—to the laboratory for analysis. Use the prepaid return envelope (France only) provided in your kit to send them. All you have to do is drop the envelope in a mailbox.

How long does it take to receive the results?

Your sample is analyzed within a few days of its arrival at the laboratory. Once the results have been interpreted, our team of indoor air quality experts will prepare your personalized analysis report.

The analysis report will be emailed to you within 15 business days of the laboratory's receipt of your sample.
