We have guidelines for the Earths Land, Air and Water Quality, but no official guidelines for residential indoor air quality, which includes Mold inspections in Lancaster PA, Dander, skin mites, dust mites and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). There are also Hazardous indoor surfaces like, Lead Based Paint Chips and Dust that could be a concern in pre 1978 structures, and especially structures built before 1960 in this area, there will be be some lead paint.
Windows, Doors, Floors, Stair treads and Railings that probably have been re-painted with non Leaded paint over the years, can allow lead to leach out from cracks, friction or impacts of old windows and doors as they open and close. Also some wood floors and stair treads have the same issue with friction and chipping.
Adults and their children usually spend a lot of time inside their houses and/or apartments (especially during winter) without ever knowing what is in the air they breath, or what is on the surface(s) inside their dwelling.

Asbestos was used in thousands of building materials and associated products until 1978, and latter, but particularly prior to the 1960's.
After horse hair was no longer available at high volume asbestos was mixed into plaster for strength from the 1930's until the 1970's.
Also joint compounds contained asbestos.
Construction adhesives for floor tile, wall paper adhesives, caulk and all sorts of products contained some asbestos.
Some products were produced into the 1980's.
However it is very hazardous when disturbed enough to cause asbestos particles and/or dust in the air, which can affect breathing and lung health, which is why it's pertinent to get an asbestos inspection in Lancaster PA, to identify and eliminate any issues.
