Pathogenic
Microbes
The following organisms have
been shown to have adverse effects to human health.
|
Stachybotras
Chartarum
|
 |
Toxic
fungus that inhabits wet cellulose containing
material, such as gypsum board. Stachybotras contains
a toxin that is detrimental to human health, that
may be present even after the organism has died.
|
|
Aspergillis
|
 |
Prolific
fungus that grows in a wide temperature range.
Inhalation causes opportunistic infections in
immune deficient people. Can be a serious problem
in health care facilities.
|
|
Cladisporium
|
 |
Typically
found in fibrous/fiberglass ductwork insulation
and unserviced fan and air handler components.

Today's
indoor climate control systems are complex machines requiring
a great deal of monitoring and maintenance. When left unserviced
HVAC systems generate condensate which results in standing
water. When this water is left in contact with cellulose components
it fosters an ideal breeding ground for molds, funguses, and
pathogenic bacteria.
Increasing
evidence is pointing towards the critical relationship between
these microorganisms and human health. Indoor microbial contamination
has been defined as a leading causative factor in Sick Building
Syndrome (SNS).
Contaminated
indoor air, in the business office environment, can result
in reduced employee productivity, increased operational costs,
as well as a greater potential exposure to litigation. Over
extended periods of time, airborne contaminants have proven
to have serious negative effects on human health.
ACTION
REMEDIATION utilizes state of the art HEPA equipped ventilation
equipment to remedy the source of indoor contaminants. Once
the source of the problem has been removed, ACTION can initiate
a cost effective service program that can significantly reduce
the possibility of reoccurrence.
