Phase 1: EnviroImmunity Scan

Advanced Indoor Air Quality & Moisture Diagnostic

Our EnviroImmunity Scan (Phase 1) provides a rapid, non-invasive evaluation of your indoor environment. Designed specifically for at-risk individuals, this basic scan targets the core environmental drivers of microbial growth and respiratory stress. Our EnviroImmunity Scan Includes the following detailed analysis-

1. Moisture & Building Conditions

Why It Matters: Moisture drives 80% of microbial risk for immunocompromised individuals. Uncontrolled water intrusion creates an immediate breeding ground for fungal pathogens.

●       Thermal Imaging: We use advanced infrared technology to locate hidden leaks behind walls and ceilings before visible mold forms.

●       Moisture Mapping: Precision tracking of moisture migration through building materials.

●       Temperature & Relative Humidity: Tracking real-time climate metrics to ensure conditions suppress fungal germination.

●       Physical Integrity Checks: Comprehensive visual screening for staining, odors, warped materials, and bubbling paint.

Visual Evidence: Thermal Leak Detection

2. Air Quality Vitals (Fast Risk Indicators)

Why It Matters: Poor ventilation paired with elevated particulate matter creates a high-density zone for inhaled microbes, allergens, and toxic particles.

●    CO2 Monitoring: Evaluates general room ventilation and fresh air exchange rates.

●    CO Detection: Rules out toxic combustion byproducts in the breathing zone.

●    PM10 & PM2.5 Screening: Measures respirable particle loads that threaten lung health.

●    *VOC screening is NOT included in Phase 1. Mos-type VOC sensors (including those integrated into multifunction meters) are not sufficiently specific or defensible for clinical or environmental decision making, VOC testing is performed only in Phase 2 using PID, DNPH aldehydes, or TO-15 laboratory analysis.

Health Impact: Particle Pollution (Particulate Matter)

Particle pollution is made up of solid or liquid particles suspended in your air, including dust, dirt, soot, and smoke.

●    PM10 (Larger Particles): Irritates the eyes, nose, and throat. Sources include road dust, construction sites, and agricultural settings.

●    PM2.5 (Fine Particles): Highly dangerous. These tiny particles bypass natural respiratory filters, penetrating deep into the lungs and entering the bloodstream.

High-Risk Vulnerability:
While particle pollution affects everyone, it poses a severe, immediate threat to:

●    Immunocompromised individuals

●    People with lung diseases (Asthma, COPD)

●    Individuals with heart disease or diabetes

●    Older adults

3. Microbiological Screening

Why It Matters: At-risk individuals require definitive data regarding airborne fungal burdens. Identifying baseline spore counts is critical to preventing exposure to opportunistic pathogens.

●       Spore Trap Analysis: Includes 3 indoor air samples and 1 baseline outdoor sample to track structural amplification of mold.

●       Targeted Surface Swabs / Tape Lifts: Conducted strictly in high-risk zones showing:

·        Visible staining

·        Musty odors

·        Elevated moisture levels

·        Suspect biological growth

Optional Add-ons (Not included in Base Phase 1):

●      HERTSMI-2 (Dust DNA-5 Species screen) Used as a Targeted dust-borne mold burden screen when clinically indicated or when there is a history of water intrusion events.

●      Heavy Metals (ICP-MS Dust Wipes) Used when there is a known or suspected source (pre-1978 paint, industrial fallout, soil tracking, occupational carry-home exposure) or when a clinician requests heavy metals screening.
