Huntington Beach, California, May 4, 2026

Each May, communities across California and the nation observe Clean Air Month to raise awareness about the connection between clean air and respiratory health. While outdoor air quality is often influenced by regional conditions, indoor air in homes, schools, and workplaces can typically be improved with the right testing and mitigation strategies.

Because many people spend up to 90% of their time indoors, indoor environmental quality plays a critical role in overall health and well-being. Identifying and addressing airborne contaminants can help reduce exposure risks and support healthier indoor environments.

Common indoor pollutants may include radon, mold spores, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, cockroach allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide, wildfire smoke, particulate matter, asbestos fibers, lead dust, pesticides, cleaning chemical fumes, and sewer gas. Without proper testing and corrective actions, these contaminants can affect comfort, productivity, and long-term health.

“What we breathe has a measurable impact on our health and quality of life,” said Michael Chapman, Laboratory Manager of LA Testing’s Huntington Beach facility. “At LA Testing, we help individuals, businesses, and institutions better understand potential exposure risks. With multiple California laboratories, we offer comprehensive air and indoor environmental quality testing services, along with sampling supplies, easy-to-use test kits, building inspection tools, air monitoring instruments, and respirators.”

LA Testing also sponsored an educational video about Clean Air Month that remains available online at: https://youtu.be/mw1HtEJqVyU
