Family Air Care® Indoor Allergens & Mold Test Kit
The Indoor Air Quality experts at National Jewish HealthTM have done a detailed analysis of the key indoor pollutants. After much review of the medical literature we determined that our focus needed to be on those pollutants that had the greatest impact on health.
"If patients who have asthma are exposed to irritants or inhalant allergens to which they are sensitive, their asthma symptoms may increase and precipitate an asthma exacerbation. Substantially reducing exposure to these factors may reduce inflammation, symptoms, and need for medication….Recognition and treatment of these conditions may improve asthma control."

The Family Air CareTM Indoor Allergens and Mold Test Kit was designed to be a way to survey your home for the key allergens that impact your breathing health. We wanted to start by measuring the levels of the most important allergy and asthma triggers including mold, pet dander dust mites and cockroaches The Family Air CareTM Indoor Allergens and Mold Test Kit was developed by the allergy experts at National Jewish HealthTM . Our mold test was developed in conjunction with Roche, one of the world’s leading research-focused healthcare groups in the fields of pharmaceuticals and diagnostics. Our Allergen tests were developed with Indoor Biotechnologies one of the leading manufacturers of allergen test kits.
The Family Air Care® Indoor Allergens and Mold Test Kit is designed to be simple to use. It comes with a DuststreamTM collector, a special attachment that works with your vacuum cleaner to pick up samples of airborne allergens in your home. Once you sample the two areas in your home identified in the instructions in your kit, you will seal the DuststreamTM collector with the bleack plugs enclosed, place it in the plastic bag provided and the postage-paid mailer and mail back the sample back to the National Jewish HealthTM Advanced Diagnostics Laboratories for laboratory testing and expert analysis. You’ll get a detailed report back of the findings.
