According
to the Surgeon
General of the United States:
-
Indoor Air Quality warrants federal
action.
-
Sick
Building Syndrome (SBS) and Building Related Illnesses (BRI) cause
huge losses in productivity for American workers.
-
Air
pollution in buildings can be 100x worse than outdoors.
Ecospect can help clients address all the factors that can effect
their indoor air
quality.
-
Ecospect
will enable you to make informed decisions about the indoor air
quality (IAQ) of your building to ensure the long term well being of
its occupants which also helps manage risk to potential legal
action.
-
We
target our investigation based on our clients specific needs, and
develop a sampling plan to address concerns cost effectively.
Indoor
Air Quality (IAQ) addresses all the factors that can effect an indoor
environment. Most people spend about 90% of their time indoors and some
closer to 100%. That is why IAQ is so important and can have a
significant effect on your health. Our approach to addressing potential
IAQ problems is based on our expertise and your unique situation. It’s
simple: we listen to what you are telling us. Then EcoSpect applies our knowledge and experience to come up with a reasonable plan to
identify the source. Testing for every possible indoor air contaminant
would result in huge laboratory costs and waste your
time and money.
As IAQ consultants,
Certified by the IAQA as Indoor Environmentalists, we think of ourselves
as “Project Managers” that are capable of looking at the big
picture, considering any and all potential air pollution sources. We
gather background information and speak with the people who are actually
experiencing the problem. Based on that information, EcoSpect formulates
a sampling plan that includes the most likely issues a particular indoor
environment may face. If a very specialized discipline is required, we
do not hesitate to call in another expert to consult on that particular
piece of the puzzle. EcoSpect has forged many alliances with state of
the art practitioners in related fields such as HVAC contractors,
Environmental Engineers and test and balance professionals.
Some of the indoor
air pollutants that we may investigate for include:
1. Biological contaminants – Mold, Bacteria, Viruses, Animal
Dander, Pollen, Dust Mites
2. Lead Based Paint, Asbestos, Formaldehyde, Radon
3. Combustion Pollutants – Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide,
Sulfur Dioxide
4. Household Products – cleaning agents, pesticides
5. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) –from paint, carpet,
deodorizers, adhesives
6. Second Hand Smoke – affecting children’s health, SIDS
7. Asthma Triggers – Dust mites, second hand smoke,
molds, pests
8.Workplace specific risks – manufacturing processes,
cleaning products
9.Any other factor that may adversely affect IAQ
