Summary: Leading indoor environmental testing company, AirMD, enters the affiliate market with a new national opportunity that has ZERO costs. After more than thirteen years in the environmental industry and conducting tens of thousands of projects, AirMD is poised to grow as a national indoor environmental testing company while putting “America back to work.”

Boca Raton, FL – AirMD, a national science consulting company specializing in diagnostic assessments for indoor air quality, has launched a national affiliate opportunity. Most exciting, is the affiliate opportunity does not require any of the fees typically associated with “franchise” models and has no franchise fees or royalties ever. The affiliate model is based on AirMD’s core business which began operations in Boca Raton, Florida in 2007 and currently serves all Florida and other states nationally.

Having completed tens of thousands of projects since 2007, including mold, allergens, chemicals, lead, asbestos, volatile organic compounds, and bacteria the AirMD team saw an opportunity to make its proprietary process and systems available as an affiliate model. The company see a huge opportunity to not only grow its business, but to also put many of Americans back to work again.

According to Simon Hahessy, AirMD’s Founder “The Indoor Air Quality Industry is highly fragmented and the market consists of small local and regional players. While there are companies that provide indoor environmental testing and inspection services, we are not aware of any national companies that provide the extensive reactive and proactive services that AirMD provides.”

It is estimated that indoor air quality problems costs the US economy as much as $168 billion per year, and the indoor environmental market is more than $10 billion annually. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air quality is a greater health hazard than outdoor air pollution with pollutants being up to 2-5 times higher indoors.

AirMD personnel have a wide range of experience in the scientific and engineering fields. Their staff of scientists and engineers, have backgrounds in bacteriology, mycology, aerobiology, microscopy, environmental science and toxicology, and will train and certify AirMD affiliates in required disciplines for their day to day operations. To stay ahead of the curve, AirMD scientists and engineers receive on-going training and the required education on the latest technology, procedures, industry advancements and developments.

Hahessy goes on to say, “At this critical time, we wanted to give people the opportunity to start a business without the typical costs and our affiliate model can’t be compared to any franchise. The accreditation, the tools and classroom training, the reputation, are all there for an affiliate to succeed. AirMD is truly a partner with the affiliate, we only profit when affiliates profit, which is what makes our NO FEE structure so unique.”

There are exclusive territories available in many 50 states, including Puerto Rico. Interested affiliates should visit www.airmd.com/franchise for more information.

Temperature and humidity are two important parameters that affect thermal comfort, which in turn may cause potential problems to your indoor air quality.

Relative humidity levels below 25% are associated with increased discomfort and drying of the mucous membranes and skin. On the other end of the spectrum, high humidity levels (>60%) may result in condensation within the building structure and on interior or exterior surfaces. This may lead to the subsequent development of mold.

ASHRAE Standard 55-2009, Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy, presents guidelines that are intended to achieve thermal conditions that at least 80% of the occupants would find acceptable or comfortable. ASHRAE specifies a range between 25% and 60% as ideal.

Managing the relationship between temperature and humidity will control thermal comfort within the space and reduce the potential for the presence of biological contaminants including mold. Finding the right balance between the two is important. Mold contamination can cause health issues including respiratory problems, allergies, eye, nose and throat irritations. Indoor mold contamination in your home or workplace may be undetected until symptoms appear.

AirMD’s team of environmental consultants are equipped to assess whether or not your temperature and humidity levels are in harmony with each other for a healthier indoor quality environment.

On site, AirMD consultants will:

Determine if moisture is present in building materials;

Check for any evidence of high or low temperatures;

Check for local sources of heating or cooling;

Ensure that there is a balanced air distribution network;

Look for any obstruction of air circulation, among other key pieces of evidence.

According to the Center for Disease and Control (CDC), Americans spend as much as 90% of their time indoors, a large portion taking place at the office. From our experience, most people are unaware of their indoor air quality because we are in a reactive-based industry. AirMD is dedicated to bringing awareness to the importance of consistently improving and maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Being consistent is key to attaining an ideal working environment. We achieve our objective by providing comprehensive testing and consulting services customized for each and every client. Part of our process is to determine the most effective solutions so that our clients can become PROACTIVE as opposed to REACTIVE.

The results of poor indoor air quality not only cause health issues, but may adversely affect worker productivity. Furthermore, in some extreme cases, the threat of potential litigation from occupants and employees is a major concern for companies.

To create a healthier and more productive working environment for employees, we urge companies to integrate a system for continuous indoor air quality monitoring. At AirMD, our team of certified scientists has formulated a detailed IAQ Environmental Management System to educate business owners, building owners, and management about indoor environmental conditions and to reduce potential liability in commercial office spaces.

The benefits of implementing AirMD’s IAQ Environmental Management System include:

  • Reduced likelihood of lawsuits
  • Reduced potential for OSHA complaints
  • Lower workmen’s compensation costs
  • Reduced potential litigation costs
  • Potential increase in property values
  • Reduced absenteeism
  • Increased worker productivity

Further evidence has arisen to support the dangers children face when they are exposed to a wide range of chemicals in the air. An alliance of scientists confirms that developmental growth in children may be triggered by air pollutants, among other causes. This has resulted in the coalition publicly announcing its findings in a published report titled Project TENDR (Targeting Environmental NeuroDevelopmental Risks).

It is imperative to rapidly take measures to ensure our children are healthy and that their growth is not negatively impacted, leading to near and long term issues.

Chemicals in the air, water, foods, and household products we intake daily are major causes for concern. The average American spends between 80 to 90 percent of their time indoors. However, most of us never think of what’s actually floating in the air that we breathe day in and day out. These toxic chemicals are invisible, making them easy to forget, but they are always lurking if nothing is done to mitigate them. Project TENDR has singled out specific pesticides, flame retardants, lead, phthalates, and combustion-related air pollutants.

AirMD provides environmental consulting services and offers a Residential Evaluation to assess the overall condition of your indoor home environment. Testing can include measuring moisture levels, airborne particles, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), and much more. Our Residential Evaluation is a comprehensive first step toward creating a cleaner healthier home for your family.  Upon completion of the analysis, AirMD’s team of scientists and experts will issue a written report enclosed with the test findings and recommendations on the effective methods to take to make sure your indoor quality environment is an ideal one for your children to thrive and be healthy. It’s time for us all to be INFORMED and PROACTIVE.
