INDOOR AIR
The EPA, OSHA, the National Institute for Occupational and Safety Health (NIOSH), and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) have established air quality standards, as well as exposure guidelines for numerous chemicals. Serious problems can result when the air environment is contaminated, especially for children, the elderly, and sensitive populations, such as persons with weakened immune systems.
A great many environmental factors contribute to indoor air quality issues, so we consider it extremely important to hold interviews with our clients to try to determine what sorts of chemicals may be circulating in the air. For example, we document information regarding allergic-type responses (such as eye, ear, and nose irritation) and other responses to air irritants. In addition, we perform extensive air sampling, then test and evaluate those samples to rule out possibilities and ultimately uncover the source of the problem.
By providing comprehensive services to our commercial and residential clients, we ensure they can make informed decisions about their environment and take appropriate measures to reduce their exposure and protect themselves. Our ultimate goal is to protect our clients against environmental dangers and prevent the health problems that can arise from poor or contaminated air quality. |
