You Test Your Own Air Quality! We Provide the Equipment and Facilitate the EPA Method TO-10A Laboratory Sample Analysis.
EPA Method TO-17 Laboratory Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry Air Sample Analysis
Sullivan Environmental has taken well over 20,000 air samples and has developed an easy system that allows individuals to collect their own air samples at their convenience. This procedure provides professional results that can be obtained by a non-professional.
Determine the air quality in your home or business. We ship the sampling equipment to you, provide return labels, and facilitate the laboratory analysis.
Each Air Sample Evaluates:
– Significant EPA Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs),
– Airborne mold,
– Key volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air (the highest 6 VOC’s are reported),
– Odor-causing compounds in the air,
– Pollution source categories,
– Contamination Index,
– Total VOC’s (ng/l).
*Each sample is returned with a sample-specific laboratory report generated by one of our accredited partner laboratories. The cost per sample, including laboratory analysis, shipping, and equipment rental, is $625 for the first sample (discounts for additional samples).

5. Take the sample(s). Each sample should be run for 2 hours. The sample start and stop time should be included on the chain of custody form. This allows us to calculate the concentration in the air based on the flow rate, chemical retained in the sampling tube, and time the air is drawn through the tube via the air sampling pump (this is important).
6. Complete the chain-of-custody form. This will be shipped with the air sampling equipment.
7. Send the sample(s) and equipment back to Sullivan Environmental (UPS return label and shipping container included).
