“Protecting building occupants from potential exposure risks and optimizing the indoor environment are central components of building safety,” said Joe Frasca, Senior Vice President of Marketing at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “These exposure risks may include lead, asbestos, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and radon. They also include everything from viruses and bacteria, to mold. A building’s air exchange rates, air filtration, humidity, carbon dioxide levels, and the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection programs, can all impact building safety and comfort.”
For over four decades, the building science and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) experts at EMSL Analytical have been dedicated to creating safe indoor spaces in all types of buildings. With laboratories across North America, EMSL supports the efforts of Building Safety Month with air quality, industrial hygiene, material, and infection control laboratory testing services. They also offer sampling supplies, easy-to-use test kits, inspection tools, air monitoring instruments, personal protective equipment (PPE) and other resources.
