Since about 1980, asthma prevalence and asthma-related
hospitalizations and deaths have increased alarmingly.
Recent studies have suggested that indoor exposure to
dust mites, cockroaches, mold, pet dander, tobacco
smoke, and other biological and chemical pollutants, are
influencing the course and severity of asthma, and/or
allergic reactions. |
Problems with Toxic mold and indoor air quality in New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ) and Connecticut (CT)? We are testing remediation experts and also provide restoration services after fire and water damage for electronics, art, documents, and other precious possessions. TERS is acutely aware of the health risks associated with poor indoor air quality, mold, chemical, dust mite, and other contaminants that create or aggreviate allergy and asthma conditions.
The current situation in schools is not better, as
asthma and allergy rates are increasingly higher. For
instance, State officials in Massachuesetts, found the
prevalence of asthma averaged 9.2% within their school
districts, a cause for alarm among public health
advocates. Among the potential causes cited: poor
indoor air quality, (IAQ), mold, dust mites, and
other enviromental pollutants as mentioned above.
