Envirospect is the Place to Call

When a Building or Environmental Exposure May be Making People Ill

              It could be any home, office, school, church, health care facility, store or even an automobile

               People can become sick from many different home, workplace and public exposures. We have added thousands of untested chemicals into our environment. We have made homes, schools, workplaces, and other structures air tight. We have chemicals, medicines and vaccines injected and inhale a wide range of chemicals that were not invented a generation ago. We are a premiere Pittsburgh Mold Testing company.

              Envirospect’s mission is to identify environmental problems through testing and assessment. We report and educate the general public, building designers, manufacturers and health professionals about environmental exposures and their potential health consequences. What sets Envirospect apart is that we are problem solvers. We are here to not just identify problems, we are here to develop solutions.

 
               Envirospect is not a remediation firm. We do not have that conflict of interest. You can trust the integrity of our staff and services.

SOME OF THE MOST COMMON INDOOR AIR ISSUES

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) can make the simplest chores in life a struggle. We have discovered some very unusual source of exposure. One example was an improperly cured manufactured hardwood floor “off gassed” the chemical Acetonitrile into a home. The chemical was adding to one family member's serious health issues. We have discovered pesticides in homes with severe heath issues. The source may be farming prior to a housing development, or “zealous” pest treatment No matter the cause, we have testing such as TO-15 tests to identify chemicals that can rob residents of their heath.
For more information on MCS: What is MCS?

Allergens can create additional health problems of many types. ERMI or ARMI testing can get to the source of those contaminations. These are often plant or animal related.

Formaldehyde is a common and potentially toxic exposure in a home. This chemical can come from carpet, cabinets, composite wood products like plywood and many other common products found in homes and workplaces. We have used Dragger Tube Testing to identify high levels of that toxin in homes.

Carbon Monoxide and even the Carbon Dioxide can be health risks. Improperly functioning fossil fueled equipment can be the source of Carbon Monoxide exposures. Carbon Dioxide in high doses such as in workplaces and schools can make occupants tired and result in illness or injury as the CO2 blocks oxygen from the blood. Improperly installed heating systems can pull carbon monoxide from one gas appliance into the interior air of a building. We have continuous CO testing equipment to identify these intermittent hazards.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. We utilize the finest of Continuous Radon Monitor testing equipment.  Click here for  Tribune Radon Article by Dan Howard   on the source and correction for radon.  

              We have equipment to test for bacterial contaminations in areas such as hospitals, food service and other high risk areas that clean procedures are critical to maintaining heath.

WE BLEND OUR UNDERSTANDING OF CONSTRUCTION METHODS, BUILDING SCIENCE, ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS AND TESTING PROCEDURES TO IDENTIFY HAZARDS.
