Bird
Droppings
Droppings
from pigeons, bats, starlings, chickens and other birds
can carry a fungus (mold) called Histoplasma Capsulatum.
This fungus can be found in soil contaminated by droppings
and in accumulations of droppings in or on buildings or
other structures.
Histoplasmosis is a respiratory disease caused by inhalation of airborne
spores from the fungus. Most people who have an infection show no symptoms,
however flu-like symptoms are most common when a large number of spores are
inhaled. In some cases the disease can move from the lungs to other parts
of the body, such as the brain, spine or other internal organs and can even
cause death. The bacteria can also enter the body through mucus membranes
such as the eyes.
The
people most susceptible to the disease are construction
workers and/or the general public at or near a worksite
around old bird roosts; cave explores; farmers and people
with immune deficiencies. Accumulations of bat/bird droppings
can often be found in vacant or condemned buildings; older
historical buildings not properly maintained; rooftops;
attic spaces accessible to birds/bats; barns; church bell
towers; warehouses, manufacturing plants, and other open
steel type structures which are attractive to birds.
DELTA
Services, has performed numerous bird dropping
decontamination projects. We employ the best available
methods for cleaning and decontamination to establish
a safe environment for other trades and the general
public at worksites throughout the State of Indiana.
We can also assist property owners/managers in selecting
products to deter birds from roosting once a cleanup
has been accomplished. Industrial
Cleaning
Nuisance
dust/dirt from environmental conditions or manufacturing
processes can often accumulate in warehouses and manufacturing/industrial
plants. The accumulation of dust and residues can coat
open steel structures, equipment, and fixtures where routine
cleaning and maintenance is not performed.
DELTA
Services has the capabilities to perform
wet and/or dry cleaning to facilitate plant closures,
renovations, or continued operations of your facility. Graffiti Removal
Graffiti
has become a serious problems causing billions of dollars
of damage to private & public property on a yearly
basis.
DELTA
Services, Inc. maintains crews with
the training and experience to properly remove paint
and graffiti without damaging the masonry, wood, plastic,
metal and other surfaces. Projects frequently require
us to work on occupied buildings or adjacent to finishes
requiring protection from the cleaning process.
Successful
graffiti and paint removal requires awareness of the environment
as well as the paint surface, to maintain full control
of the operation. A graffiti removal program that removes
the graffiti as it is put up will discourage taggers to
go elsewhere and DELTA Services,
Inc. is ready to provide such relief. Fluorescent Bulbs/Ballasts/Thermostats
Fluorescent bulbs, light ballasts, thermostats, and other associated electrical
and electronic equipment can contain small quantities of mercury, PCB's,
or other substances harmful to both human health and the environment.
The USEPA adopted the Universal Waste Rule (40CFR Part 273) to control
the disposal of these materials in municipal landfills and encourage
recycling.
DELTA
Services can separate and package these
materials for alternate disposal or recycling at an
EPA approved Facility. Additional information can be
found at http://www.epa.gov/osw. Recycling
As part
of our demolition and asbestos abatement projects we make
every attempt to separate and recycle any non-contaminated
building materials which are suitable for recycling or
reuse. |
