Protecting Your Health from Indoor Environmental Issues

Help is here for you in your time of need

At Adaptive Environmental, we understand the impact that Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) can have on your health

CIRS is a condition triggered by exposure to biotoxins produced by mold and other water-damaged building materials. If you suspect that CIRS may be affecting your health, a CIRS inspection protocol can be a crucial step in identifying and addressing the source of the problem.

What is CIRS?

CIRS is a complex condition that can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, headaches, joint pain, cognitive dysfunction, and respiratory problems. While the exact mechanisms of CIRS are still being studied, it is believed to be caused by an ongoing inflammatory response in the body triggered by exposure to biotoxins.

Lyme Disease and CIRS

There is a growing body of evidence that suggests a connection between Lyme disease and CIRS. Some people with Lyme disease may also develop CIRS, and exposure to mold and other biotoxins may worsen symptoms of Lyme disease.

Mold & CIRS

Mold is a common indoor contaminant that can produce a variety of biotoxins. These biotoxins can trigger an inflammatory response in the body, leading to the symptoms of CIRS. In addition to mold, other water-damaged building materials can also harbor biotoxins that can contribute to CIRS.

Symptoms of CIRS

The symptoms of CIRS can vary from person to person, but some of the most common symptoms include:

Fatigue
Headaches
Joint pain
Muscle pain
Difficulty concentrating
Memory problems
Sleep disturbances
Skin problems
Respiratory problems
Gastrointestinal problems

The Importance of a CIRS Inspection Protocol

A CIRS inspection protocol is a comprehensive approach to identifying and addressing the source of biotoxin exposure. A typical CIRS inspection protocol will include the following steps:

Visual Inspection: A qualified inspector will conduct a thorough visual inspection of your property to identify any signs of mold or water damage.
Sample Collection: Samples of air, dust, and bulk building materials may be collected for laboratory analysis to identify the presence of biotoxins.
Building Assessment: The inspector will assess the building envelope and identify any potential sources of moisture intrusion that could be contributing to mold growth.
Report Generation: The inspector will generate a report that details the findings of the inspection, including any mold or biotoxin contamination that was identified.

Collaboration is Key

Addressing CIRS effectively requires a collaborative approach between a team of professionals that will be able to communicate with each other to discover

Inspector • Physician • Contractor

The inspector will work with the physician to understand the patient's medical history and symptoms. The inspector will then use this information to guide the inspection and testing process. Once the source of biotoxin exposure has been identified, the inspector will work with a qualified restoration contractor to develop a remediation plan to remove the mold and other contaminants from the property.
