How to test air quality in workspace?

Dylan

I have a small office in a building full of artists, musicians etc... The office has a very strong smell to it. It almost smells like very strong crayons. I would like to test the air quality in the space. I feel as though there might by some noxious fumes coming from somewhere.
Any recommendations on how to test the air quality for pollutants? No need to test for allergens.

Answer
This is a stretch, but OSHA requires all work places to keep a list of chemicals and their hazards on site. This location sounds like a school and I doubt you will find the HAZMAT sheets on site, but you could contact Windsor Newton and any other artist paint manufacturers for the hazard sheet on their product. The toxic paint thinners of old have been replaced with newer stuff with less fumes. Walk around the studios and check the labels. You may find they need ventilation when used. Clay would also have an odor. I personally love that smell. Just about any diverse art center has it. Your other option would be to hire a safety engineer to check your work space. Radon testers and carbon monoxide detectors are the only air quality testers I have seen for the general public.
