What does Illumenair test for?

Illumenair measures 11 individual parameters: mold, bacteria, viral load, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, pollen, humidity, PM2.5, and PM10. All measurements are taken in real time, room by room, with outdoor baseline comparison.

How long does an indoor air quality assessment take?

A typical residential assessment takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of the home. You receive same-day results — no waiting 5–10 days for a lab.

Where does Illumenair provide service?

Illumenair currently serves the greater Portland, OR metro area, Seattle, WA, Vancouver, WA, Ridgefield, and SW Washington. Additional cities are coming soon via our waitlist.

How much does an air quality assessment cost?

Assessments start at $1,250 for homes under 2,400 sq ft and $1,500 for homes 2,400–5,000 sq ft. Larger homes and commercial properties are quoted on a case-by-case basis.

How is Illumenair different from traditional mold testing?

Traditional mold inspections use a single air sample sent to a lab, taking 5–10 days for results. Illumenair uses advanced real-time particle analysis technology to measure airborne particle counts by size category in every room, with outdoor baseline comparison — all on the same day.

What We Measure

Eleven parameters. Every room. Real-time results.

Mold

Real-time detection of airborne mold spores — with particle counts by size category, room-by-room mapping, and outdoor baseline comparison.

Bacteria

Airborne bacterial particle counts by size category. Tracked room by room against outdoor levels to identify HVAC contamination and biological sources.

Viral Load

Submicron particle counts that indicate airborne viral load — a direct measure of respiratory transmission risk in enclosed spaces.

VOCs

Volatile organic compounds from paint, furniture, cleaning products, and building materials — invisible chemicals that affect air quality daily.

Formaldehyde

A known carcinogen released by pressed-wood products, insulation, and adhesives — often elevated in newer construction and recently renovated homes.

Carbon Monoxide

An odorless, colorless gas from combustion appliances. Even low-level chronic exposure causes headaches, fatigue, and cognitive impairment — well below alarm thresholds.

Carbon Dioxide

A direct indicator of ventilation quality. High CO₂ means stale air, poor cognitive performance, and inadequate air exchange — common in bedrooms and home offices.

Pollen

Indoor pollen counts reveal how well your home filters outdoor allergens — a key factor for allergy sufferers and sleep quality.

Humidity

Room-by-room humidity mapping identifies hidden moisture gradients that predict where mold and biological contamination is likely to develop.

PM2.5

Fine particulate matter small enough to penetrate deep into lung tissue and enter the bloodstream — a critical marker for combustion byproducts, wildfire smoke, and cooking emissions.

PM10

Coarse particulate matter including dust, pollen fragments, and mold debris. Elevated PM10 triggers upper respiratory irritation and aggravates asthma.
