IAQ Test Open Spaces and Meeting Rooms

540 €

Indoor Air Quality testing in Open Spaces and Meeting Rooms in companies. Analyses carried out by a certified laboratory.

Open-space offices and meeting rooms are corporate spaces where we spend a large part of our days and where the air we breathe may be contaminated by pollutants from multiple sources.

In addition, the presence of several people in a room for long periods of time leads to a significant increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) content.

Indoor air quality in a meeting room or open-space is essential for effective group work. The presence of certain pollutants can have a direct effect on the ability to think, the decision-making process and more generally on operational efficiency.

Indoor air in open spaces and meeting rooms can be polluted by many chemical substances:

  •  Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
  •  Flame Retardants (COSV)
  •  Plasticizers (phthalate and bisphenols, etc.)
  •  Carbon Dioxide (CO2)


These pollutants present proven health risks:

  • Respiratory tract irritation and lung disorders
  • Cephalalgia and migraines
  • Asthma and allergies
  • Carcinogenic effects
  • Neurotoxic effects
  • Reprotoxic effects on fertility
  • Endocrine disruptors

YOOTEST proposes an " All-in-One " analysis kit in order to carry out a complete assessment of the indoor air quality of your open-space or meeting room.

How to measure the indoor air quality in your office, open-space or meeting room?

YOOTEST Open-Space and Meeting Room allows you to accurately measure indoor air pollution by CO2, VOCs, flame retardants and plasticizers.

You can easily carry out air and dust sampling in your office with the devices provided.

The carbon dioxide is measured with an electronic sensor with an infrared detector allowing a measurement every 10 minutes. The results of the sensor measurements are extracted from the sensor with the help of software.

You return your samples and the electronic sensor with the pre-paid envelope included.

Our expert laboratory analyzes your samples and issues a complete analysis report for each type of analysis as well as a synthesis report including advice on how to improve the quality of your indoor air.

What are the pollutants we are researching?

    Carbon dioxide (CO2)

The complete lists of substances searched for are available here :

Two levels of analysis are proposed:

ESSENTIAL
Analysis of the most dangerous chemicals, classified as high priority for health by international health authorities (WHO, US EPA, ANSES and HEALTH CANADA).

INTEGRAL
Analysis of all chemicals from the ESSENTIAL level as well as an extended list of other commonly encountered indoor air pollutants for which health concerns exist.

How to use your YOOTEST Pack for offices, open spaces and meeting rooms?

  •  The measurement of VOCs of concern in indoor air is carried out using passive sensors, which contain the media to capture the VOCs.
  •  The CO2 measurement is carried out with an electronic sensor.
  •  These sensors must be placed in the room to be analyzed during the occupation of the premises over a period of 4.5 consecutive days (from Monday morning to Friday evening).
  •  At the end of these 4.5 days, the sensors are returned to the laboratory with the sampling form, using the prepaid envelope provided.
  •  Contamination of the indoor environment with plasticizers and flame retardants is assessed by measuring them in a dust sample.

After sampling, the sensors and the dust sample are returned to the laboratory with their sampling forms, using the prepaid return envelope provided.

How many packs do I need?

It is recommended to use one test for a maximum area of 650 to 850 square foot (60 to 80 m2).
