LCA, Inc. utilizes industrial hygiene technicians and Certified Industrial Hygienists (CHI) to perform Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Investigations and evaluate indoor environments. Typically the purpose of the investigations is to evaluate conditions within the building and compare the findings to existing guidelines. Our final reports will include an assessment of the building’s conditions, our recommendations (as necessary) for improving the indoor air quality conditions, and the analytical data to support our findings.

In addition LCA, Inc. performs a variety of microbial related services. LCA, Inc. can provide a microbial investigation that includes, as appropriate, sampling, identification, and assessment for microbial growth contamination. A trained professional with demonstrated experience in microbial growth investigations would assess the current condition of the property. A limited visual evaluation is performed to identify all visible and obvious microbial growth contamination found in the building. Source sampling indoors and outdoors (for comparison) for potential microbial growth would be performed in order to identify signature organisms and to develop a comprehensive and effective Remediation Plan. In addition, IAQ measurements of temperature, carbon dioxide, and relative humidity would be collected in each of the rooms along with outdoor measurements for comparison.

If directed by the client, LCA, Inc. will design a site-specific mold remediation plan based on the results found in the microbial investigation. The plan includes a detailed description of the scope of work and will include information regarding project coordination, site-specific remediation guidelines and procedures, site sampling strategies, and protocols along with all general conditions.
