Avoiding Toxins in Your Building...........

[Guest guest]

Some building hazards—things like cracked sidewalks, broken windows

or crumbling masonry—are obvious to even an untrained eye, making it

easy to conduct repairs and prevent further deterioration and

potential injury.

Other building hazards don't make it so easy. Toxic substances like

lead, asbestos, radon, carbon monoxide and mold are tough to detect,

can't be felt or smelled, and can be hidden away inside walls, seep

into basements, or even be imbedded in paint, creating a potentially

hazardous situation for building residents. The kicker is that when

it comes to these " hidden dangers, " often nobody knows they're there

until the damage— sometimes tragic—is done.

Armed with basic knowledge of each of these potential killers

however, property managers, superintendents and even residents

themselves can reduce the risk they pose.
