Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) – Mold/Fungi
Health Science Associates – Orange County, CA
HSA is well experienced in performing many types of investigations, including indoor air quality (IAQ) projects in and around Orange County, CA. Our background in IAQ includes innumerable projects, including small one day office investigations and multiple day evaluations of entire multi-story office buildings. These large projects have been completed for the City/County of San Francisco, the Cal-Trans Spring Street Building, and the recently completed IAQ project of the Los Angeles County Child Care offices in the former U.S. Borax Building. All of these large projects included evaluating multiple types of contaminants that may be present in an office building, including but not limited to: asbestos; volatile organic compounds; formaldehyde; particulates; PCBs; fungi; hydrogen sulfide; and legionnaires organisms. In each of these cases, HSA was able to identify causative agents and provide recommendations related to remediation of the worker complaints.
