We will test for VOCs, too, and assess any odors that are present. Measuring the relative humidity inside your home is also a very important part of any Wellness Test. <\/p>\n<h3>Why Is Relative Humidity Important?<\/h3>\n<p>The start of summer is still a month away, but the humidity levels are already on the rise across South Florida. You don\u2019t need the weather team at your favorite TV station to tell you it\u2019s humid, all you have to do is walk out the door. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Relative humidity tells us how much moisture is in the air<\/strong>. It\u2019s that moisture that makes it feel like you\u2019re walking into a wall when you step outside. <\/p>\n<p>The average humidity in Boca Raton in May is 64.8 percent, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/championtraveler.com\/dates\/best-time-to-visit-boca-raton-fl-us\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Champion traveler<\/a>. That might not sound too bad, but that\u2019s enough to have a significant impact \u2013 both inside and outside your home.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The impact of humidity outdoors: Let\u2019s say it\u2019s a sunny day in May and the temperature is 89 degrees Fahrenheit with the relative humidity at that average of 65 percent. That will produce a heat index \u2013 or a \u201cfeels like\u201d \u2013 temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. (Don\u2019t ask us about the math, trust us, you don\u2019t want to know. If you want to determine the heat index in your area, it\u2019s much easier to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov\/html\/heatindex.shtml\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">heat index calculator<\/a> provided by the National Weather Service. That\u2019s what we do.)<\/li>\n<li>The impact of humidity indoors: Ideally, the relative humidity inside your home should fall in the 30 to 60 percent range. Below 30 percent, the air can feel uncomfortably dry. On the other hand, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends maintaining the humidity below 60 percent to prevent mold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have been considering having a mold inspection done, you will be happy to know that AirMD\u2019s Wellness Testing always includes an assessment of the amount of moisture \u2013 or the relative humidity \u2013 in the air inside your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you ask the environmental testing experts at AirMD to conduct Wellness Testing at your house, we will assess the indoor air quality by measuring everything from airborne particles to electromagnetic radiation.
