Can crime scene cleanup services be tailored to the needs of specific incidents?
Yes, services are customized based on the type, severity, and unique characteristics of each incident.
What protective gear should I use when cleaning rodent waste?
Wear gloves, masks, and disposable coveralls to prevent direct contact with harmful pathogens.
What measures are followed if hazardous drugs are found spilled in the vehicle?

Can air quality testing help address radon exposure?
Yes, professional air quality testing is highly effective in detecting radon, a radioactive gas that naturally occurs in soil and rock. Radon can seep into buildings through cracks in the foundation and is a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Testing involves using sensitive equipment that measures radon levels over a period of time, providing accurate data about the extent of exposure. Once detected, remediation techniques such as sealing cracks or installing radon mitigation systems can significantly reduce radon levels. Regular air quality testing for radon is essential, particularly in regions known for high radon concentrations, to ensure the safety of occupants and prevent long-term health risks.
