Industrial and buildings hygiene

Industrial hygiene covers the exposure of workers to the various contaminants that may be present in the workplace. Dusts, natural fibers such as wood, and gases can cause irreversible damage to the human body. It is therefore essential to study work environments in order to establish target values that meet health and safety requirements.  

Building hygiene aims to characterize, inventory and plan the removal of contaminants in a building. Whether asbestos, silica or lead, these hazardous materials present in building materials can have an impact on occupants or workers when they are removed. Building hygiene also helps ensure air quality in buildings in terms of oxygen, CO2 and volatile organic compounds.
