asbestos/lead/voc testing
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that can be pulled into a fluffy consistency. Asbestos fibers are soft and flexible yet resistant to heat, electricity, and corrosion. These qualities make the mineral useful, but they also make asbestos exposure highly toxic.
Lead is a highly toxic metal that may cause a range of health problems, especially in young children. Both inside and outside the home, deteriorated lead paint mixes with household dust and soil and gets tracked in. When lead is absorbed into the body, it can cause damage to the brain and other vital organs.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) include a wide variety of both natural and synthetic substances. VOCs are present in everyday life and can be harmless, some however, are not and can be hazardous to health and the environment. The distinctive smell from the solvents in paint, adhesives, and cleaning products, new plastic, and fuels is the result of “outgassing” or release of VOCs to the atmosphere.
