Managing Environmental Exposures in Buildings

Tuesday, September 7, 2010 by August Mack Environmental, Inc.

Today's building managers and owners must not only manage the most well-known types of environmental issues in buildings, such as asbestos, lead-based paint, lead in the water and mold, but they also must consider the new environmental exposures issues including Chinese drywall, vapor intrusion and PCBs in caulk.

Since buildings exist to protect people from the elements of the outside world while supporting human activity, buildings should not make people sick, cause them discomfort or inhibit their ability to perform. If environmental exposures are not managed properly, a building owner is likely to experience a high remediation cost and a problematic resolution of liability claims.
