Total Dust Testing

Measure The Dust In Your Air

Dust may be invisible to the eye, but it can affect everything from indoor comfort to regulatory compliance. Our Total Dust Testing service uses industry-standard sampling protocols to measure airborne particulate levels in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.

What is Total Dust Testing?

Total dust testing measures the total concentration of airborne particles suspended in a given space—regardless of their size or composition.

 

A specified volume of air is drawn through a pre-weighed filter using calibrated equipment. The filter is then analyzed by a NLLAP-certified laboratory to determine total particulate mass.  

 

Total particulate mass is reported in mg/m³ and correlated to the applicable Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs)

When To Use This Service

This service is designed for risk managers, facility directors, health and safety professionals, and property owners who need to evaluate dust conditions in workplaces, schools, public buildings, offices, or high-sensitivity commercial environments.

Why Companies Use This Test

Total Dust Testing provides documentation of indoor air cleanliness during critical moments — like after construction, during HVAC changes, or in response to internal complaints. The test won’t tell you what the particles are made of, but it will tell you whether total particulate levels are elevated beyond what’s typically expected for that environment.

 

When you need to validate the safety of a workspace, respond to complaints professionally, or just establish a baseline for indoor air quality, this test provides neutral, data-driven answers. Many companies use it to protect against liability, support internal air quality goals, or provide assurance to building occupants.

Support for Risk Management and HR Concerns

When employees express concern about indoor air quality, particularly in open offices or enclosed conference rooms, a third-party assessment shows your organization is taking those concerns seriously. Our certified dust testing provides clear documentation that can support internal reviews and policies. 

 

We work directly with facilities staff, building engineers, and safety managers to ensure sampling is site-specific and appropriately scoped. Whether you’re fielding tenant complaints, investigating allergy-like symptoms among staff, or proactively updating your building health documentation, our dust assessments provide the clarity you need.
