Potential health hazards from exposure to bacteria, molds, and fungi often require the identification and assessment of building conditions that lead to microbial amplification. Building owners and managers frequently overlook these microbiological agents. Bacteria, molds, and fungi produce chemicals and spores (endotoxins and mycotoxins) that can cause allergenic and toxic reactions.
The Denali Group offers a full range of microbial identification, assessment and remediation management services:

Visually inspect and assess building conditions, materials and associated mechanical equipment. |
 |
 |
• |
Evaluate potential moisture intrusion mechanisms and perform building moisture profiles. |
 |
 |
• |

 |
 |
• |
Perform bioaerosol (i.e., air quality) and surface sampling. |
 |
 |
• |
Microbiological sample analysis (by certified laboratories). |
 |
 |
• |
Develop microbial source/receptor exposure pathway models. |
 |
 |
