Matrix provides services to identify, evaluate and control occupational hazards and potential health effects associated with biological and chemical agents.

Indoor Air Quality Studies, Florida Schools

Matrix personnel have conducted numerous indoor air quality studies for schools affected by Florida's hot, moldy environment.

The studies generally began with an IAQ questionnaire to determine the nature and timing of the symptoms being reported, followed by a thorough inspection of the building's HVAC system, the complaint areas, and the suspect sources.  Tests were conducted to evaluate ventilation, suspect pollutants, and comfort parameters.  Matrix has teamed with architects, engineers and other experts to develop solutions to the problems identified in the IAQ studies.

The benefits of the Matrix approach included:

Technically defensible IAQ results. Reduction of liability for school administration. Improvement of classroom IAQ. Communication links with concerned parents.

Lead and Asbestos Abatement at Veterans Affairs Hospital Building

Matrix provided Certified Industrial Hygienist oversight for a VA roof replacement project with asbestos, lead paint, and other occupational hazards.  The work was conducted in accordance with the VA's project specifications.

The CIH provided the initial asbestos and lead paint survey used to quantify and locate the areas to be abated.  The CIH then wrote the technical specifications for performance of the work, and assisted in the bid selection process.   During the abatement, the CIH was in responsible charge of air monitoring and project oversight to ensure compliance with regulations and specifications.

The benefits of these CIH services included:

Owner representation during abatement. Early detection/resolution of problems. Assurance that specifications are met.
