Indoor Environmental Testing Information

Overview

Risk Management, Environmental Health & Safety (RMEHS) conducts indoor environmental testing as part of routine environmental oversight. Testing occurs periodically throughout the academic year. Information is shared to provide general awareness of testing activities.

Academic Year Testing Activities

This page reflects testing activities for the academic year. Information is updated periodically as testing is completed and activities progress.

Testing activities are planned based on building materials, space use, and general operational factors.

* Testing schedules and locations may change based on operational needs. Some buildings may be included more than once during an academic year to confirm consistency over time.

Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) Inspections

Inspections of recorded asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are conducted periodically as part of routine building activities. Inspection activities and observations are documented and maintained as part of building records.

Mold and Moisture Assessments

When mold or moisture assessments are conducted, the focus is on identifying water sources or conditions that could allow mold to grow.

Understanding the Information

Ambient Air Testing Information (TEM)

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is a laboratory method used to identify asbestos structures in air samples at very low levels.
A non-detect result indicates that asbestos structures were not identified above laboratory reporting limits for that sample.
When asbestos structures are identified, results are considered together with other samples collected during the same testing activity.
