Occupational Hygiene

Our experts at JJP Environmental will provide services for hazardous material management (e.g. asbestos, lead), indoor environmental quality, airborne monitoring, noise measurement assessment, and radon gas assessments.

Occupational hygiene is a science devoted to recognizing, controlling, and evaluating chemical, physical, and biological hazards within your property or within your workplace. At JJP Environmental, we are dedicated to providing customers with the best hazardous material management, indoor environmental air quality, noise and radiation measurement and control, and airborne monitoring.

Hazardous Materials Management

Hazardous materials including lead and asbestos could be found within your home or workplace. If exposure to these are materials of concern, JJP Environmental, can help assess, sample, and test the material to ensure safety for you and your family.

Lead: In houses built before 1980, there is a high chance that at least some of the paint on or in the house contains lead.
Asbestos: Asbestos was widely used for years before it was discovered to cause dangerous health effects. The material contains mineral fibres which when absorbed

by the human body, can cause a lung disease, lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Indoor Environmental Quality

Maintaining safe ambient air quality is important to the health of you and your family. At JJP Environmental, our knowledgeable environmental experts will thoroughly assess, sample, and test the air within your home or work place to ensure it meets ambient air quality standards.

Monitoring for Airborne Contaminants

Certain airborne particles can cause a range of dangerous cardiopulmonary illnesses. Asbestos, lead, mould, silica and other airborne contaminants released into the air when disturbed may put you and your family at risk. At JJP Environmental, we can help assess the air you breathe is clean and healthy.

Noise Measurement Assessment

Measuring noise levels in a workplace is an important part in evaluating employee health. If the noise is louder than the sound of busy traffic, or if you have to raise your voice to speak to someone on the other side of your desk, you have a noise problem. The experts at JJP Environmental will help ensure that your workplace noise is at a healthy level.

Radon Gas Assessments

Radon comes naturally from rocks and dirt in the ground. There’s usually some radon in the surrounding environment. Radon within dirt has the potential to migrate beneath a home and leak into the cracks or gaps of the foundation and into the ambient air. If radon gas is inhaled, radioactive particles have the potential to get trapped within the lungs. Lung cancer may result from exposure to radon gas. Health effects from radon depend on amount of exposure to high radon levels, and on the length of time of exposure to radon levels. Smoking and exposure to radon, when combined, are more dangerous to health than either one on its own. Both old homes and new homes, with or without basements, can have radon problems. For this reason, it is important to have your home tested. The team at JJP Environmental will help you assess the radiation levels in your home or work space.

Many health threats are airborne and invisible. Sometimes, it takes serious illness or injury before noticing that something is wrong. The experts at JJP Environmental will assess, test, and monitor your environment to ensure that you are operating in a safe space. Contact us today for more information about our services.
