    IAQ: measurement

    Measurement in IAQ investigations involve many aspects. The most common ones are: chemical concentrations (CO2, etc), VOC concentration, microbial concentrations (spore, pollen,), etc.

      "provides the most accurate and reliable pollen and mold counts from approximately 78 counting stations throughout the United States and three counting stations in Canada (Vancouver, London, Hamilton, Niagara Falls). The stations use air sampling equipment to collect airborne pollen and spores which are then examined microscopically. This information is also used for research to aid in the diagnosis, treatment and management of allergic diseases."
