Air Quality Sciences unique approach to mold remediation provides our clients the most effective means of addressing mold, mold spores, and mycotoxins throughout their entire building. By utilizing the best practices of traditional remediation in conjunction with new practices and cutting edge technology, Air Quality Sciences addresses many aspects ignored by traditional remediation efforts.
Traditional Remediation generally consists of containing the immediately affected area, removal of the materials with active fungal growth, and the application of an encapsulant and/or bio-cides. Work is performed while using HEPA air scrubbers to filter airborne particulates kicked up during the demolition and removal process.
While this method addresses the area directly impacted by mold growth, it does have its shortcomings, such as:
Traditional remediation protocol often requires that the contents in the affected area be removed and discarded.
Air Quality Sciences has the ability to reduce the damages associated with a mold problem by treating contents. Your possessions are returned to a contaminant free state.
Traditional remediation often includes the application of bio-cides or other toxic chemicals.
Air Quality Sciences' process does not include the use of any toxic, corrosive, or harmful chemicals. In some cases a biocide or bleach solutions can trigger a defensive response by mold, causing it to release spores and toxins into the air. Many biocides are also toxic themselves and pose a hazard when used indoors . Air Quality Sciences' decontamination fog is not a bio-cide, but a hydrogen peroxide based solution that renders active mold and airborne contaminants inert by breaking down their protein component. Mold, mold spores and mycotoxins are reduces to non-allergenic matter which is HEPA vacuumed and removed.
Traditional Remediation does not address spore dispersal throughout building.
These practices do not account for the presence of airborne spores and toxins that have already spread throughout the building. A building's HVAC system as well as natural air exchange within the building can carry airborne contaminants across even large structures in a matter of minutes. Air Quality Sciences' process insures that the air quality in all areas is addressed.
