Follow on Google News | Illinois Residents on the Lookout for Biological Contaminants in the HomeThe environmental and building consulting experts at EC2 provide mold and indoor air quality (IAQ) testing services for residential, commercial and industrial properties.
The typical home across Chicago and throughout Illinois is full of biological contaminants. They can include bacteria, mold and mildew, viruses, animal dander and cat saliva, house dust mites, cockroaches and pollen. If there are sensitized or susceptible individuals in the home, or when these contaminants are at elevated levels, people can become sick. “There are many sources of these biological pollutants,” By controlling the relative humidity level in a home, the growth of some sources of microbial contaminants can be minimized. A relative humidity of 30-50 percent is generally recommended for homes. Standing water, water-damaged materials, or wet surfaces also serve as a breeding ground for molds, mildews, bacteria and insects. House dust mites, the source of one of the most powerful biological allergens, grow in damp, warm environments. To help educate the public about biological contaminants in the home, EC2 has helped sponsor a public outreach video on the topic. The video can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/ To learn more about mold, IAQ and other environmental testing services please visit http://www.4ec2inc.com, email info@4ec2inc.com or call (815) 703-9000. # # # About EC2, Inc.
