By: Zimmetry Environmental PM can be in the form of a solid or liquid, or even a mixture of both. These tiny particles may range from 0.005 µm (micrometers) Depending on the type, concentration and amount of time a person is exposed to particulate matter, they may experience health effects. These could include: eye, nose, and throat irritation; respiratory infections and bronchitis; and even lung cancer in some circumstances. Many industrial and construction activities can generate PM and expose workers to these respirable hazards. There are also common sources of PM that may be found in commercial and residential properties that may come from such sources as: · Furnaces · Unvented Space Heaters · Cooking Stoves · Woodstoves · Environmental Tobacco Smoke · Mold Growth “Long-term and repeated exposure to respirable particulates should be avoided whenever possible,” said Harry Pena, President of Zimmetry Environmental. “At Zimmetry, our air testing professionals provide air monitoring and consulting services to identify their presence to protect both workers and building occupants in Puerto Rico and other locations across the Caribbean.” Zimmetry recently sponsored an educational video about particulate matter and indoor air quality (IAQ) issues that can be seen at: www.youtube.com/ To learn more about Zimmetry Environmental and air, environmental and compliance consulting services, please visit www.zimmetry.com, call (787) 995.0005 or email info@zimmetry.com.
