- Asbestos News - a good information website on asbestos hazards and Mesothelioma. Example of lead-in of
a current article (Jan 2006) "What is Mesothelioma? - Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that attacks cells, called mesothelial cells, which make up membrane lining in the
chest and abdominal cavity. The tissue called mesothelium, which is formed by the mesothelial cells, help protects the organs by producing a lubricating
fluid that allows the organs to move without irritating nerves." The site contains articles on asbestos abatement, asbestos in schools, claims,
containment, litigation, and various asbestos-related illnesses.

- Ozone Warnings -
 Use of Ozone as a "mold" remedy is ineffective and may be dangerous.
- Sampling for gases in air such as VOC's, MVOC's, toxic chemicals, and combustion products.
Unfortunately no single test or tool can detect all possible building contaminants. We use methods and equipment which can test for common contaminants. If the identity of a specific contaminant is known in advance we can also test for a very large number of specific contaminant gases in buildings.
We use gas sampling equipment provided by the two most reliable companies in the world, Draeger-Safety's detector-tubes and Drager accuro� bellows pump, the Gastec� cylinder pump and detector-tube system produced by Gastec or Sensidyne, and
we also use Sensidyne's Gilian air pump. For broad screening for combustibles and a number of other
toxic gases and for leak tracing we also use Amprobe's Tif8850. All of these instruments, their applications, and sensitivities (minimum detectable limits) for specific gases are described in our Gas Sampling Plan online document.
