Forest Preserve of Cook County

Specialty Consulting, Inc. (SPC) was retained by the Forest Preserve of Cook County to conduct indoor air quality (IAQ) assessments at several key locations, including the Main Office, Forest Preserve of Cook County General Headquarters, Eugene S. Pike House, and Crabtree Nature Center. The purpose of the assessments was to ensure a safe and healthy environment for employees and visitors by testing for airborne contaminants.

SPC conducted air sampling using Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) in accordance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Method 7400, which is a standardized procedure for measuring airborne fiber concentrations, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

Throughout the project, SPC's team of certified industrial hygienists and environmental professionals meticulously performed the air sampling and analysis. The data collected provided crucial insights into the IAQ at each site, helping to identify any potential health risks and necessary mitigation measures.

The air quality test results confirmed that the assessed sites' indoor environments met all relevant health and safety standards. SPC's comprehensive approach and adherence to rigorous testing protocols ensured that the Forest Preserve of Cook County could maintain a safe and healthy atmosphere for its staff and visitors.
