Asbestos
Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral commonly used in commercial and residential construction. There are six different types of asbestos mineral fibers. Asbestos exposure has been linked to mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.
Lead
Lead is a toxic metal and neurotoxin that is poisonous to humans. No level of exposure is safe. Part of the reason lead poses such a health risk is that the body cannot tell the difference between lead and calcium. When humans are exposed to lead, the body absorbs lead into the bloodstream and organs the same way it does calcium. Once absorbed, lead stays in the system for several months. Eventually, some of the lead will be excreted and rid from the body.
Mold & Moisture Investigations
Mold growth and associated moisture problems are among the most common—and serious—facility problems we tackle. Unresolved mold and moisture issues can pose serious risks to occupant health and inflict costly damage to facilities. We handle mold issues that range from visible mold growth to moldy smells to hidden mold infestations to controlling microscopic spores in healthcare settings.
