Toxic and Hazardous Materials

Toxic and hazardous materials include any materials, chemicals or biologic agents that may pose a risk to human health or the environment. These materials may occur in building envelopes or the outdoor environment.

Building envelope toxic and hazardous materials typically include asbestos, lead, mold, PCBs and radon, which impact indoor air quality.

Toxic or hazardous materials that impact the outdoor environment include all of the above plus any material that is released to the environment that has an impact on human health or the environment. These would include chemicals commonly found at Superfund sites, manufacturing sites, gas stations, dry cleaners, agriculture sites (e.g., pesticides) and others.

Environmental Data Validation

We review environmental data in terms of quality and usefulness as well as to identify sampling and analytical errors. Sample results may be accepted, rejected, or qualified based on the data quality objectives established for a given project; therefore, the validation process is one of decision making based upon the quality control criteria that have been identified.
