Formaldehyde and aldehydes are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and indoor air pollutants that are ubiquitous in all homes and offices.
Classified as a known human carcinogen, indoor air contamination by formaldehyde is of particular concern for the health of occupants. Formaldehyde sensitizes and promotes asthma and respiratory allergies.
The YOOTEST Formaldehyde Analysis Test provides an accurate measurement of indoor air pollution by formaldehyde and aldehydes.
You sample the air in the room you wish to analyze with a passive sensor for a full week.
You return your air sample with the prepaid envelope provided.
Our expert laboratory analyses your samples and produces a comprehensive and comprehensible report including advice on how to improve the quality of your indoor air.
The ESSENTIAL level analysis focuses on the most hazardous chemicals that have been classified as high priority for health by international health authorities, including WHO, US EPA, ANSES and HEALTH CANADA.
The INTEGRAL level analysis includes all ESSENTIAL level chemicals as well as an extensive list of other common indoor air pollutants of health concern.

YOOTEST allows you to test the quality of your indoor air with great accuracy. Selected pollutants are measured in the laboratory using state-of-the-art technology to ensure measurements below the international health reference values for the most dangerous air pollutants in indoor air.
The measurement is performed using a passive sensor that contains a chemical reagent that captures formaldehyde.
This sensor must be placed in the room to be analyzed for a period of 7 consecutive days.
At the end of these 7 days, the sensor is returned to the laboratory with the sampling sheet, using the prepaid envelope provided.
It is recommended to use one test for a maximum area of 650 to 850 square foot (60 to 80 m2).
