Allergy potentials within your habitat are determined with an ELISA assay for allergens, some of which are from Cats, Dogs, Cockroaches, Dust Mites, Termites, Mice and other Rodents. Their allergens are also acquired by a dust sampling. The results are defined by a TLV (Threshold Limit Value) and is a guideline value defined by the ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists). If you live in Naperville, Oswego, Montgomery, Aurora, Plainfield, Yorkville, Sugar Grove or others, Environmental Inspection Dynamics can help you with the following:

• 50 Million Americans suffer from allergic diseases

• The word “allergy” refers to an “altered reaction.”

• There two descriptions of allergies, seasonal or perennial (year around, persistent).

• Allergens are substances foreign to the body.

• Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a disease associated with humidifiers.

• Pollen is one of the most widespread allergens; next is indoor mold.

• Proteins from cat dander and dry urine from rats are potent allergens.

• Cat & dog allergens are light aerodynamically and spread easily throughout the house.

• Testing is done by enzyme immunoassay procedure and listed in micrograms of allergen per gram of dust (ug/g).  The assays can be specific or grouped
