Environmental Hazards

Overview

The hazards and threats asbestos present are well documented. In the past it was thought not only to be a good product for insulation and fireproofing, but it was even viewed as a "miracle mineral", seemingly protecting every conceivable type of product and industry. That was years ago. Now we have come to learn that asbestos’ environmental and health effects have world wide impact.  The same scenario applies to lead based paint, PCB's and other materials now known to be environmental hazards.
To that end, KARL's experience in environmental hazardous waste abatement and removal has proven itself repeatedly over the years.  In many cases there are multiple hazards that need to be addressed simultaneously creating a complex situation.

Approach

 

The key to Karl Environmental Group's approach to lead, asbestos and other hazardous waste is to develop and implement as many opportunities for waste recycling or reuse as possible.  Karl Environmental Group works with disposal vendors to come up with the most economical means of hazardous waste management,  utilization and transport.  The total Hazard Management program can be coupled with  a Hazard Minimization Audit to clearly optimize your facility's processes and costs.Barrels of chemical waste dump
