Analytik von Innenraumschadstoffen ENGEL KG

about us The B iolabor Hamburg successfully operates a nationwide independent expert office with several locations in Germany (see imprint) and its own laboratory for the analysis of pollutants in interiors, on buildings and in wind turbines. This includes in-house diagnostics of molds in indoor areas and food, bacteria, wood-destroying fungi and insects with the precise differentiation of harmful species. We forward samples for chemical and physical analyzes to accredited laboratories; if necessary, a professional evaluation of the laboratory results is carried out by our experts. We provide our qualifications through regular participation in seminars and round robin tests at the Baden-Württemberg State Health Office, as well as at the "Institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences" in Utrecht by Dr. RA Samson and Dr. ES Hoekstra and the Institute for Hygiene at the Medical University in Graz. There is regular contact and good cooperation with the institutes, because your health is important to us . Modern laboratory technology, high demands on the quality of our work and seamless monitoring of internal processes guarantee that the requirements placed on us by our customers are met. With the work of our experts, we offer a comprehensive range of services in the specialist fields of chemical and biological pollutants in interiors and on buildings and in expert construction supervision. Investigations in the interior should clarify whether the causes of odor nuisance and health complaints are building-related and, if necessary, remedial measures are or will be necessary. Suspicions are carried out in a targeted and cost-oriented manner with measurements and sampling to determine contamination. Pests, which primarily break down and destroy wood products and thus represent the actual threat to buildings, make it necessary to examine buildings. These include wood-destroying fungi such as various house sponges and insects such as beetles, wood wasps or wood-dwelling storage pests. Based on the exploration and evaluation of the examinations from overview measurements, material examinations and room air analyzes, we develop concepts for professional renovation, the execution of which we monitor with regard to compliance with hygiene and protective measures and compliance with the applicable regulations and rules. Unfortunately, through our work we learn again and again that existing damage is often incorrectly assessed due to a lack of specialist knowledge and that the remedial measures used cannot guarantee long-term success. This usually results in consequential damage, which can then only be remedied with an immensely high expenditure of time and money. We often experience that damage or pollution (for example asbestos, wood preservatives and also mold damage) is incorrectly and / or overestimated, as a result of the renovation measures offered are overdimensioned and can be reduced many times over, which insurers and builders in the past with our commissioning has saved high costs.
