A system for checking for interior air contamination, the system comprising:

• a sealed device having a sealable port configured to allow extraction of air from an interior of the sealed device,
• means for extracting at least some of the air from the interior of the sealed device, and
• means for analyzing the extracted air to determine if it contains contaminants,
• wherein the sealed device is sealed to prevent, except through the sealable port, exterior air to flow into the sealed device and the air from the interior to flow out.
