Hamza Mbareche Consulting
Today, it’s difficult to avoid the risks presented by airborne pollutants. This is true of indoor spaces as well as the atmosphere, and extends even to formerly pristine outdoor environments.
That is why I established Hamza Mbareche Consulting, a service that focuses my extensive experience in airborne microorganisms, the microbiome and genomics on the air in your residential or office environment.
As a skilled air quality investigator, I have helped schools, hospitals, nursing homes, businesses and homeowners discover air quality issues and effectively address them. Drawing upon my depth of experience, I assess the air and create detailed plans of action that will improve air quality and eliminate hazards.
If there is a danger, I will find it. If there are risks, I will mitigate them. For every issue, I will present a plan and a range of effective solutions.
