Forensic and material testing can help you identify any number of issues on your property. This type of testing is used to detect asbestos, mold, minerals and other materials that may be hazardous to the health of any individuals on your property. Forensic test results may be required for insurance policies as well as any inspections by legal parties.

What is Forensic Testing Used for on a Property?

A common use of forensic testing is to identify unknown materials on substances on the property. Forensics can identify minerals, synthetic fibers, and a number of other materials that can help determine air quality, contamination, or any environmental dangers. A forensic approach may help you determine the origin and quality of building materials, site conditions, and site history. Here are just some of the materials that forensic property testing can uncover:

Man-Made Vitreous Fibers (MMVF)

Asbestos

Mold

Biological material

Synthetic fibers

Hair

Minerals

Cellulose

Other organic and inorganic materials

You are likely required to provide inspection reports on air and water quality, and a laboratory will need to provide you with the correct sampling materials based on what you’re testing.

When to Use Forensic Testing on Your Property

If you’re inspecting a property or looking to buy, you can contact a lab that will provide you with the proper forensic testing. You can use this to determine the age of a structure, its history, and any associated issues that may bring the property down in value. Forensic tests can provide insight when you’re testing/regulating your HVAC unit. Air quality is vital for property owners and using forensic testing methods for HVAC, central air, or general air quality is an excellent idea, as the lab will be able to provide a thorough breakdown of contaminants and particles. Carbon black and soot analysis is required for fire insurance safety standards and is vital to do after any type of fire on the property. Insurance companies will require this test to analyze the damage done to the property after a fire. Chinese drywall testing is a good time to employ forensic tactics. Testing of imported materials is recommended to understand the manufacturer, make, and any associated particles that may pose a risk to the property. Asbestos and mold are two common problems on many properties. Although there are a variety of methods you can use to test for the presence of these spores, forensic testing is often a favorite because it allows for quantitative and qualitative analysis. This gives you a full scope of the situation.

What is the danger zone for a freezer?

between 40 °F and 140 °F Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes. This range of temperatures is often called the "Danger Zone."

fsis.usda.gov - Danger Zone"" (40 °F - 140 °F) - Food Safety and Inspection Service - USDA

"Danger Zone" (40 °F - 140 °F)

Leaving food out too long at room temperature can cause bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Campylobacter) to grow to dangerous levels that can cause illness. Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes. This range of temperatures is often called the "Danger Zone."

Keep Food Out of the "Danger Zone"

Never leave food out of refrigeration over 2 hours. If the temperature is above 90 °F, food should not be left out more than 1 hour. Keep hot food hot—at or above 140 °F. Place cooked food in chafing dishes, preheated steam tables, warming trays, and/or slow cookers. Keep cold food cold—at or below 40 °F. Place food in containers on ice.

Cooking

Raw meat and poultry should always be cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature (see graphic). When roasting meat and poultry, use an oven temperature no lower than 325 °F. If you aren't going to serve hot food right away, it's important to keep it at 140 °F or above.

Storing Leftovers

One of the most common causes of foodborne illness is improper cooling of cooked foods. Bacteria can be reintroduced to food after it is safely cooked. For this reason leftovers must be put in shallow containers for quick cooling and refrigerated at 40 °F or below within two hours.

Reheating

Foods should be reheated thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165 °F or until hot and steaming. In the microwave oven, cover food and rotate so it heats evenly.
