Every day, we come into contact with microorganisms. While many are harmless, some can cause severe illness or contaminate sterile environments. Microbial testing is necessary and required by many industries worldwide, where human health is at risk of being adversely affected by biological pathogens, disease-causing bacteria, and other toxins.
In order to reduce contamination and illness, it is important to identify threats to your home and workspace. Microbial testing is the first line of defense against disease-causing bacteria and toxins and supporting public health. Microbiological environmental monitoring is a means of demonstrating an acceptable microbiological quality in the controlled environment and detecting changes in a timely manner. It involves the collection of data relating to microbial numbers recovered from samples of air, surfaces, and people in a clean area.
