Consultations on Indoor Air QualityThe Mercer County – Celina City Health Department commonly receives questions regarding indoor air quality. Although we do not provide testing services for indoor air contaminants, including mold, we can provide advice for short term solutions for mold clean up and contact information for private firms that do provide testing services. A couple of local private firms include: Allied Environmental Services, Inc. 1-800-992-5781 Turn-Key Environmental Consultants, Inc. 937-335-8807 Radon is a cancer-causing gas that can infiltrate homes through the soil around basements or crawl spaces. Through the Regional Air Pollution Control Agency, we have been provided with free radon test kits, which you can obtain at our office. We also have informational brochures which can be picked up at our office.
