→ Mold Testing

  • Mold testing helps determine the presence and types of mold spores or growth within an indoor environment. Laboratory analysis provides objective information that can support indoor air quality assessments, remediation planning, and documentation for real estate or insurance purposes.

    While mold testing does not diagnose health conditions, it offers valuable insight into environmental conditions that may affect building occupants.

  • Air Samples (Spore Trap Analysis):

    Used to evaluate airborne mold spores within indoor spaces and compare indoor and outdoor conditions.

    Surface Samples:

    Collected from visible growth or suspected mold-impacted areas to identify fungal types present on building materials or surfaces.

    • After water damage, leaks, or flooding

    • When musty odors or visible mold growth are present

    • During real estate transactions

    • Before or after mold remediation

    • When indoor air quality concerns arise

→ Asbestos Testing

  • Asbestos testing identifies the presence and type of asbestos-containing materials in building products or air samples. Testing is essential before renovation, demolition, or abatement activities to support regulatory compliance and protect workers and occupants.

    Laboratory analysis provides documentation needed for project planning, safety assessments, and abatement decisions.

  • Bulk Building Materials:
    Including drywall, plaster, flooring, ceiling tiles, insulation, and other suspect materials. Available analyses include:

    • Bulk - PLM Calibrated Visual Estimate (CVE)

    • Bulk - PLM 400 or 1000 Point Counts

    • Bulk - PLM Non-Friable Organically Bound (NOB)*

    • Bulk - PLM Qualitative

    Air Samples:
    Collected to evaluate airborne fibers during or after abatement activities. Available analyses include:

    • Air - PCM NIOSH 7400, B-Rules & TWA

    • Air - TEM Methods*

    Specialized Materials:
    Including vermiculite, soil, and non-friable materials, depending on project needs. Available analyses include:

    • Vermiculite - PLM Qualitative

    • Vermiculite - PLM/TEM Cincinnati Method*

    • Soil - PLM Qualitative

    • Soil - CARB 435 Method*

    • Before the renovation or demolition of older structures

    • Before disturbing suspect building materials

    • During or after asbestos abatement projects

    • To support regulatory or compliance requirements

→ Heavy Metals & Specialized Environmental Testing

  • Heavy metals and specialized environmental testing help identify the presence of contaminants that may pose environmental, occupational, or regulatory concerns. Results support risk assessment, remediation planning, and compliance documentation.

    Laboratory analysis provides documentation needed for project planning, safety assessments, and abatement decisions.

  • Heavy Metals Analysis:
    Crystal Analytical facilitates heavy metals testing through qualified partner laboratories, providing reliable data for environmental, occupational, and regulatory needs. Available analyses include:

    • Lead – Total Concentration via Atomic Absorption (AA)

    • Single Metal Identification via Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP)

    • Mercury Identification

    • RCRA 8 Metals (8)

    • TCLP / RCRA 8 Metals

    • Priority Pollutants (13)

    Dust & Particulate Testing:
    Such as nuisance dust or carbon-based particulates. Available analyses include:

    • Nuisance Dust Analysis (NIOSH 0500)

    • Carbon Black Analysis (NIOSH 5000)

    Additional Specialized Tests:
    NADCA Vacuum Test for Air Duct Cleanliness

    Other project-specific environmental analyses as required

    • During renovation or remediation projects

    • When environmental contamination is suspected

    • For compliance, clearance, or documentation needs

    • As part of environmental or occupational assessments
