PCA provides health and safety services, specific to the needs of the health care environment, including:

• Indoor air quality surveys to evaluate ventilation, asbestos, or potential indoor air contaminants – VOCs, microbiologicals (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria, Legionella, MRSA), allergens, odors, dust.
• Anesthetic gas exposure assessment for nitrous oxide and halogenated gases (halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, disflurane, enflurane, methoxyflurane).
• Project planning and oversight, including noise, fungi, asbestos, and dust monitoring, during construction and maintenance activities, mold remediation, and asbestos abatement.
• Personal air monitoring for chemicals commonly found in hospitals, such as formaldehyde, solvents (e.g., xylene, MMA, alcohol, ethylene oxide), oncology chemicals, and endoscopy cleaning solutions (e.g., glutaraldehyde, ortho-phthalaldehyde).
• Solvent spill modeling to assist in spill response planning.
• Measurement of laboratory fume hood and local exhaust ventilation.
• Health and safety plan development.
