A long shot I know but ..... Has anyone had the air quality in their house or office tested?

I wonder if my leaky Victorian house on busy road is full of car fumes and making me ill. Is there any way of checking this? I've looked in the 'phone book but can't find anything.

Haven't any experience of this but thought I'd bump it for you.

Have you tried the Environment Agency? or Environmental Services Dept of your local council? They might be able to point you in the right direction

Worth a go Betty.

You need some plants to absorb chemicals from the atmosphere...do you have any yet?

Where have you tried so far? or have you just looked for companies that might do it?

Great idea zippi. We have no plants. Not much room. ut worth making room I feel.

Betty I';ve just looked under vague headings like environmental, allergies and air quality, to no avail.

you might find some ideas here \link{http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=plants+improve+air+quality+chemicals+absorb&btnG=Google+Search&me\ lazy of me I know!!!}
