Air Sampling cassettes

Air sampling cassettes

Question (Jessie):

I have several questions about your air tests.
1. Do the asbestos in air test and lead in air test use the same pump?
2. Can I do both of them at the same time and return the samples to you together?
3. For the lead in air test, how many samples need to be collected for a general residential house? For example, one sample for each room or for the entire house?

Answer (LCS Laboratory Inc.):

Hello Jessie,

High Flow pump for mold spores sampling

High Flow pump for mold spores sampling

Thank you for asking. Yes, both Lead and Fibers can be collected on the same pump. Lead and asbestos results are representative only for the room where the sample was collected. If you want to know lead or asbestos levels in another room, you should collect a different set of samples there. Lead and asbestos, both require 3-hour long sampling, so be prepared for long sampling. Our pump is industrial grade, so we do not recommend leaving it unattended.

If you have any other questions please contact us at your convenience.
