Both tests are appropriate for some of the highest Indoor Air Quality Product Certifications for OEM Materials and Bedding. According to Exova's LEED Green Associate, Air Quality and Industrial Hygiene certified engineer "The VOC and formaldehyde levels can be characterized as background levels."

Worker Safety Tested
Quebec's local Health and Safety Board conducted tests for a full day of production at Essentia's factory. VOC capturing device's were placed at the nozzle of our organic foam mixing pumps in order to capture the highest possible readings of VOCs and to identify if there were any components found in the standard production of memory foam. They found that Essentia employees are not required to wear any protective gear or masks as there are no safety risks when making Essentia's Beyond Latex™ organic foam.
