EPA IP Methods for Indoor Air Pollutants
EAS offers several types of analytical methods for determining low levels of Volatile and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds in Indoor Air Samples. These methods can be used to determine low level (sub ppbv) exposure to organic compounds and for studying odor problems. These methods are based on the EPA TO Methods or the EPA IP Methods specifically developed for determining low level exposure in Indoor Environments.

| IP 1B TO-17 | Volatile Organic Compounds by Sorbent Tubes | 0.01 ppbv | GC/MS |
| IP3 | Carbon Dioxide | 50 ppmv | GC/TCD |
| Carbon Monoxide | 20 ppmv | GC/TCD | |
| IP 6 TO-11 | Formaldehyde | HPLC | |
