“Building managers play a key part in ensuring the health and safety of all building occupants,” said Harry Pena, President of Zimmetry Environmental. “This includes indoor environmental quality and infection control. For the past 20 years, Zimmetry Environmental has been an advocate of Building Safety Month. Our industrial hygiene, building science and infection control professionals work to provide optimal conditions in residential, commercial and institutional properties in Puerto Rico and throughout the Caribbean.”
Zimmetry’s experts offer testing, monitoring and consulting services for biological, chemical and radiological pollutants; infectious pathogens; and asthma triggers, allergens and respiratory irritants. Their building assessments determine the effectiveness of infection control efforts, HVAC system filtration, contaminant control in building water systems, and identifying conditions that could lead to mold growth. Zimmetry is also regularly called upon to investigate dangers associated with asbestos, lead-based paints and other exposure risks. If a problem is discovered, Zimmetry can help to eliminate or mitigate the concern.
