Here at Airbox Sampling Products, we’re all about helping you maintain clean and healthy air.
Our air testing equipment can help detect not only asbestos, but issues like black mould. Clean air inside buildings is crucial for several reasons: it impacts our health, productivity, and overall well-being.
Long-term exposure to indoor air pollutants can lead to serious health issues. These include heart disease, cancer, and neurological disorders. It can also cause the spread of infectious diseases.
Did you know that poor air quality can affect our mental health?
Poor air quality can lead to headaches, fatigue and other issues. In comparison, clean air supports better mental health and cognitive function.
In places like offices and schools, clean air contributes to better concentration, higher productivity, and improved performance. Studies have shown that better indoor air quality can enhance decision-making and work efficiency. It also leads to fewer sick days.
It also means your building lasts for a long time. Clean air helps prevent the buildup of moisture and mould, which can cause structural damage to buildings and require costly repairs.
Our pumps are ideal for testing for black mould testing in air for a number of reasons.
Firstly, they can offer highly accurate sampling. Pumps ensure that a specific volume of air is passed through a sampling device, such as a filter or a spore trap, over a set period. This allows for accurate quantification of mould spores in the air.
Our devices also maintain a consistent flow rate, which is crucial for reliable and reproducible results. This consistency helps in comparing samples taken from different locations or at different times.

Make air testing at your site more efficient.
Our pumps can be used to collect a significant volume of air in a relatively short period. This makes them useful in environments where mould spore concentrations might be low or dispersed.
These air pumps can capture spores of all sizes, ensuring that even the smaller or less common ones can be collected or analysed.
All pumps align with the standard protocols for air sampling. That includes specific flow rates and sampling durations. We appreciate this standardisation is necessary for the results to be accepted in regulatory or legal contexts.
Take samples even in hazardous conditions.
Our pumps allow for controlled sampling in potentially hazardous environments, minimising the exposure risk to the person collecting the samples.
In summary, using pumps for black mould testing in air provides precise, efficient, and standardised sampling, which is crucial for accurate mould detection and assessment.
Why is black mould so deadly?
Black mould (scientifically known as Stachybotrys chartarum) is notably harmful for several reasons.
The main reason it needs to be avoided is it can cause a host of health issues. That includes respiratory problems. The inhalation of black mould spores can cause respiratory problems such as chronic coughing, sneezing, and irritation of the throat, nose, and lungs.
Many people have allergic reactions to black mould, with it causing rashes, itchy eyes, and sinusitis. It can also worsen asthma symptoms and trigger asthma attacks in individuals with the condition.
Children and elderly individuals are more susceptible to the health effects of black mould due to their weaker immune systems. People with compromised immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy or living with chronic illnesses, are at higher risk for severe reactions to black mould exposure.
Air testing for black mould can prevent potentially hazardous health conditions.
Some strains of black mould produce mycotoxins, which are toxic compounds that can cause more severe health issues, including chronic fatigue, headaches, and even cognitive impairment.
It can also cause damage to a building. Black mould thrives in damp and humid environments, often found in buildings with water damage. It can deteriorate building materials like wood, drywall, and insulation, compromising the structural integrity of the building.
Preventing black mould from spreading is key. Once it’s become prevalent, removing it can be expensive and extensive, often requiring professional remediation to ensure all mould spores are eliminated and the source of moisture is addressed.
Black mould can be extremely difficult to fully eradicate once it takes hold in an environment. It requires thorough cleaning and often the removal of affected materials.
Our air testing pumps can detect the mould spores in the atmosphere.
Mould spores can easily spread through the air, making it hard to contain and increasing the risk of it affecting other areas.
Then there’s the fact that black mould looks horrible and causes a malodorous atmosphere.
Black mould often appears as dark, slimy spots on walls, ceilings, and other surfaces, which can be unsightly and indicate underlying problems.
It produces a musty, unpleasant odour that can permeate the environment and be difficult to remove.
Thanks to all these factors, it's crucial to address any mould issues promptly and thoroughly to minimise health risks and prevent further damage to property.
