Guano Removal
LEC has
been helping people breath easier, focusing on asbestos abatement, lead paint removal, and
microbial duct cleaning. Increasingly, LEC is asked to remove another dangerous
contaminant: bird and bat excrement.
Excrement deposits from birds
and bats roosting in towers, steeples, walkways, or attics create a health hazard for
building occupants, visitors, employees, building service workers, and even for people
simply walking down the street. When excrement dries (becomes friable), the organisms
therein can travel as airborne contaminants. Inhaling the dust from infected droppings or
feathers can result in pulmonary infection. A 1979 article in American Family Physician, a
national ' medical journal, warns of a group of pulmonary diseases and disorders that
result from this type of exposure. Histoplasmosis is one such disease.
What is histoplasmosis?
Histoplasmosis is an infection caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, that
grows in bird and
bat excrement. Symptoms vary greatly but primarily affect the lungs.
