BACTERIA
Bacteriological problems, often caused by bird droppings or animal wastes, can cause serious illness and can be difficult to treat effectively and in accordance with OSHA and CDC guidelines. Analysis of these problems requires in-depth training and experience, as close proximity to the contamination source can lead to skin and eye infections or respiratory illness from breathing airborne toxins.
We begin our investigation by interviewing building occupants to pinpoint their symptoms, and we inspect the building and take wipe test samples of affected surfaces to establish the kinds and levels of bacteriological problems present. After testing is performed, we assess the results to determine the degree to which bacteria levels are elevated.
Next, we produce a detailed report of our findings and develop a remediation plan that involves the collaboration of a team of environmental experts who, together, can provide scientific oversight and ensure the cleanup effort corrects the health problem.
The bacteriological cleanup process is often incorrectly perceived as simple and straightforward. However, the residual effects of problems with bacteria can be extensive and widespread, and companies that try to resolve these issues on their own may inadvertently endanger their employees and damage the environment. Caution is key, as is the support of a full-service environmental services specialist.
S&R Environmental maintains a staff Toxicologist with many years of experience with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and government public health.
