Lab Analysis Services for your Certified Environmental Hygienist Home and
Building
Inspections
As
a Certified Environmental Hygienist, you need to be very proficient and
expert in environmental inspection, testing,
remediation, and prevention for: (1) toxic mold infestations such as the
black toxic mold Stachybotrys,
Aspergillus,
and
Penicillium;
(2) household mold contamination (any mold species in elevated levels
indoors endangers
occupant health
according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency); (3) bacterial
contamination (such as e.coli bacteria); (4) allergens
(such as
dust mites,
cat and dog skin and fur, and cockroaches); (5)
radon gas
(causes as much lung cancer annually as does
cigarette smoking); (6) sixty-two dangerous volatile organic compounds
(VOC); (7)
lead in drinking water
(especially well
water); and (8) lead in paint (such as on children's toys, and wall,
floor, and ceiling paint).
