High impact, low cost changes to implement immediately.
Moderate impact, low cost improvements to follow up on.
High impact, costly projects requiring more resources and planning.
Lower impact tasks to address at your convenience.
Simple daily and seasonal habits that maintain a healthy environment and prevent future challenges.
A solid home with a strong foundation. Water and chemicals are well managed. The biggest opportunities are in air quality, light, and EMFs, where targeted changes will have a meaningful impact on your family's daily health and sleep.
The Environmental Protection Agency ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental health risks, with indoor environments typically 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Since Americans spend roughly 90% of their lives indoors, most of the air we breathe comes from within our home environments.
Indoor air quality is shaped by two main factors: what our homes are made of and what we do inside them. Building materials, furniture, mattresses, and rugs can off-gas VOCs and other chemicals for years. Everyday habits like cleaning products, candles, cooking, and pet dander add additional layers of airborne pollutants. Modern energy-efficient construction, while great for reducing utility costs, traps pollutants inside by limiting fresh air exchange.
Outdoor AQI on day of testing: 22 (Good). Used as outdoor reference baseline per Building Biology Institute standards.
| Room | Temp (F) | Humidity (%) | AQI | PM 2.5 (ug/m3) | PM 10 (ug/m3) | CO2 (ppm) | VOCs (mg/m3) | HCHO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ideal Range | 66–76 | 30–50 | <22 | <10 | <25 | <750 | <0.5 | <0.1 |

Measured in basement over 48 hours. EPA action level is 4 pCi/L. Minnesota average is 4.2 pCi/L. Active mitigation strongly recommended.
Above the 30 to 50% recommended range. Creates conditions favorable for mold and dust mite growth. Address promptly.
No Carbon Monoxide detected. No gas leaks identified. Smoke and CO detectors are properly placed throughout the home.
The kid's bedroom showed PM 10 at 58 ug/m3, more than double the threshold, and CO2 at 1,150 ppm, indicating very poor overnight ventilation. The master bedroom also has elevated CO2 and significant VOC levels. A true HEPA air purifier running continuously will capture particulate matter and provide meaningful air exchange.
At 62%, your basement humidity is in the mold-favorable zone. This is above the recommended 30 to 50% range and creates conditions for mold growth and dust mite proliferation. Check for visible condensation on pipes, walls, or windows, and improve ventilation in the space.
VOCs measured at 1.80 mg/m3 and formaldehyde at 0.38 mg/m3 in the master bedroom, both significantly above threshold. The new area rug is the most likely source. Replacing it with a natural fiber option such as wool, jute, or cotton will meaningfully reduce exposure.
At 9.2 pCi/L, your radon level meaningfully increases lung cancer risk with long-term exposure. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths per year. A licensed contractor installs a Sub-Slab Depressurization system that draws radon-laden soil gas out before it can enter the home. Most systems reduce radon by 50 to 90%, typically bringing levels below 2 pCi/L.
