Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
VOCs are emitted, as gases, by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands; some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors.
- asbestos fibers
- ammonia (urine)
- bat guano
- bleach
- carbon dioxide
- carbon monoxide
- chinese drywall
- chlorine
- creosote & creosol

- illegal drugs – meth, marijuana, etc.
- insecticides
- isocyanates (TDI & MDI)
- methane
- ozone
- pepper spray
- pesticides
- sewer gas (hydrogen sulfide)
Mold
MoldScan™ detects actively growing mold by determining Mold VOCs (MVOCs) produced by active mold growth. We are the only laboratory that has been successful in developing this type of technology that determines mold metabolites on the parts per trillion level.
Our test will not analyze for Mycotoxins.

Arrived quickly. Report in 5 business days as promised. Easy to use and peace of mind after painting.
Ordered off of amazon and the test kit arrived promptly. The directions were easy to follow and i had the sample ready by the following day. The company notified me by email when they recieved my sample and as advertised I received my results in 5 business days.
I realize this is a lot of money to spend for an air quality test…but think about how important it is to know what you’re breathing. I was hesitant to purchase this, but I finally did and after reading the extremely comprehensive report I received on our air quality, I’m so glad I invested in it.
Good product but should offer discount on retesting if things are found.
I did the test but Never received report back, should give 0 star, it is a completele waste of my money and time.
update:
I got phone call from homeair, they saw my review at amazon and call me, and sent me the report, I was pleased that they solved the issue in a responsive way.
Very easy to use. Shipping was fast and turn-around was fast as well. The report showed little or no issues in our 100+ year old home, which surprised and relieved me. The directions were easy to follow. I received the package, ran the test and sent it back the same day. The report was not difficult to read, though it would have been better if the actual report had been at the beginning instead of the first 2 pages being background information.
I feel better with the reassurance of little-to-no mold particles or VOC’s in our home… now to tackle the catalpa trees in the yard!
This is an excellent test. So accurate.
Have been waiting for results, so far have received none. Suspect I have been screwed.
Well packaged. Good instructions. Easy to use. Checking indoor air for possible allergy sources. Repackaging & mail instructions also easy. Report arrived in reasonable time. Provided peace of mind.
gives you basic info like mold levels in the air. Doesn’t say what KIND of mold, but this is just a basic test.
I work in a toxic office. Unfortunately it’s in Texas, where there are apparently no laws protecting workers from such things. SO, after years of dealing with migraines, nausea, dizziness, etc. and complaints, and no one really doing anything about it, I took matters in my own hands, and purchased this product. For the hundred dollar range that I paid, you get ONE test. Hooked it up, ran it- even knowing that this test was for a 2200 square foot house- I was just trying to identify WHAT substance is making me ill. I was surprised that the test came back saying no molds were present, as I thought I had narrowed it down to that- but all it told me was that there were VOCs present (volatile organic compounds) not what kind. Very disappointed, as I was mislead to believing this test could help identify which ones when it said it measured for a rather large number of these.
Good service and received the report on time. The suggestions on how to improve air quality in the home were helpful.
This testing system gave a good description of VOC contents of my home. It was very easy to use and setup. I had some question of how long to run it as the times required were different for different contaminants and I did not know which ones to expect. I just had general symptoms of contamination; itchy eyes, irritated throat, and congested lungs. None of these were present prior to moving to this house.T^he results were not I was expecting and have no idea how some of these got into my home. I was expecting formaldehyde and sulphides from contaminated Chinese drywall. A better source potentials descriptions would have been useful. I was not able to determine the possible sources from the internet either..Therefore I am still not sure how to go about eliminating these VOCs. The most concerning one is the methylene chloride. I have never painted any part of this house and do not use solvents for any activities. No gluing, finger nail painting, spraying except for a disinfectant occasionally in the bathroom. I am familiar with the smell of methylene chloride and never noticed any obvious odor from any of my activities. ..
This worked very well. And we found out what was in the air that was causing my wife to be sick. It solved our problem.
Pricy, not worth the expense. Go to your Dr ask for mycotoxin7 blood test it checks for the bad molds that technology now provides. If you are exposed to molds it will show up. Already started allergy testing. Part 1 negative. No carpet it’s all hardwood and new AC… waiting on labs
I was in a hurry to get analysisof our home’s air quality. The test arrived quickly and results were emailed in short order as I requested. Overall outstanding experience.
This is a great product. Highly recommended.
spectacular customer service. I had a few questions before I ran the test and the customer service rep was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
The test itself was super easy and you can barely hear the pump running. I had my test results back within 5 days of them receiving the kit and the results are easy to read with explanation of what the readings mean. All in all it was worth the money and I walked away a happy customer and have already recommended this kit to a few friends.
I would never recommend Home Air Check for mold testing because the results are very inconclusive and leave many unanswered questions that required a professional to still come into my home. The report showed moderate mold, whatever that means, inside the home. This did not answer what kinds of mold were found, good mold or bad mold, or was the mold from the air outside of the home. The professional I hired was only $100 more than Home Air Check and I got a report showing the mold species with spore counts and shown where the problem area was. You get what you pay for!
