Mould
Steve Annells is a Qualified Master Technician in the Goldmorr system. Treatments under the Goldmorr system allow for cold fogging to eliminate all mould spores and bacteria. Cleaning of the mould can be done so as to remove mould stains seated in plaster board.
Many people have mould growing in the bathrooms and will clean the stain created by the mould. These mould spores can be harmful to any immuno compromised person, manifesting in respiratory issues. More often than not the mould stain will re-appear showing where it has been previously cleaned. Cleaning mould may not be enough if the source of the problem is not corrected. Often there is a lack of ventilation and steps need to be taken to ensure the environment is not conducive to mould growth.
If the property is surrounded by trees and little sunlight is getting through, this may be something creating the right environment for mould growth. Plenty of air/ventilation and sunlight may be required to solve the on-going issue.
Indoor air quality testing is recommended before and after treatment.
Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality covers a myriad of issues in the house and the workplace. All workplaces have wide and varied environmental factors to be considered. Accommodation camps ‘out west’ have methods for dust suppression and will clean cooling systems a lot more regularly than a suburban small business.
Bacteria, viruses and many pathogens are often found in the workplace and the results can be minimal or devastating depending on the business or worker.
Dust suppression will become more important as business/company owners realise what makes up the dust being breathed in by workers. Dust is a product of our environment and carries heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and pathogens. Silicosis is just one of the major traumatic and, most times, terminal illness; that results from poor air quality management. This WILL lead to future litigation, similar to that of asbestos. One of the treatments available from Meth Test Gold Coast, allow dust and debris to be repelled by way of a charged chemical, it is not a polymer.
Air Testing
Air testing can be expensive with samples taken, having to be sent back to the lab with results available in several days. MethTest Gold Coast uses a VPC 300 particle counter that will upload test samples to a website with an immediate response. Any particles measuring from 0.3 um (microns) .5, 1 or 2.5um needs to result in concentrations less than W.H.O (World Health Organisation), specifications. Particles this small will enter the lungs when inhaled. This can have dire consequences for your health or that of your family or workers. Crystaline Silica is 2.5um. Mould is 0.3um. There is nothing good about either particles and if you have high counts being breathed in, then it is time to remedy the issue. This would be the time to get a hygienist to capture the air to analyse what it is that makes up what you are breathing in. We use www.imclive.com
A failed air test can generally be rectified in several ways. The treatment to clean and protect heating/cooling units and/or an air scrubbing treatment (decontamination), may be enough to solve poor air quality.
Energy Reduction Initiative
Cleaning components of cooling systems with a true colloid chemical(food grade)and coating those components with a super hydrophilic, anti-corrosive, anti-bacterial, anti-static and anti-fungal, will allow the system to become virtually self cleaning and operate without load at increased efficiency for a period of up to two years. This treatment is expected to save approximately 20% of the operating cost of the cooling unit for the two years with a 4-6 month payback period.
This treatment is a recognised Energy Reduction Initiative in NSW.
With the unit operating without load, it will last longer, saving the immediate or short term enormous cost of replacement. There are several levels of money savings to be gained with this treatment, however, the other consideration is the health benefits of you, your family or your workers. You are also reducing your carbon footprint.
