Microbial Assessment

Airtek Environmental Corp. has a team of trained Industrial Hygienists who are skilled in assessing and identifying conditions that can lead to microbial growth.  They are knowledgeable of the potential health effects caused by certain bacteria and fungi.

• Visual assessment of building and mechanical systems
• Review of HVAC maintenance practices
• Collection and analysis of surface and air samples
• Preparation of remediation specifications and cleanup standards
• Monitoring of remediation projects
• Preparation of operation and maintenance plans to prevent the reoccurrence of microbial growth
• Assessment and sampling for water-derived pathogens such as Legionella bacteria in high-risk environments.
• Assessments include evaluation of HVAC cooling towers and potable water systems.
