24-Hour Emergency Spill and Environmental Response Team Launched

H2M, an Engineering, Architectural, Planning, and Environmental service firm announced this week that they will be launching a 24-hour emergency spill and environmental response team.

Recently, H2M combined the environmental and indoor air quality divisions in New York, since these teams serviced the same people. Now H2M offers increased efficiency and a reduced response time.

H2M was founded in 1933. It has now grown into a respected firm that provides full-service engineering, architecture, planning, environmental services, and laboratory analysis. H2M has offices in Melville, New York and Parsippany, New Jersey.

The H2M Environmental Division provides environmental consulting, air quality testing, and asbestos abatement services.

With their new emergency response team in place, the company will be able to quickly respond to any asbestos-related situations, as well as numerous other environmental issues.

Asbestos has become a common environmental issue in last few decades. When it breaks down into fibers, asbestos can easily be inhaled. Asbestos fibers are lightweight and can be inhaled by people located far from the original site of the asbestos via wind current. Exposure to asbestos is linked to mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. In many cases, such as with mesothelioma, the inhaled asbestos lies dormant in the lungs for decades. When victims are finally diagnosed, it is often decades after their initial exposure to the deadly substance, and they may only have months to live.
