Services! Things that we do...
Xtox consultation activities can include:
- Measurement of indoor (homes, offices and other commercial industrial) toxins such as mould/biological, chemical, and electromagnetic, via a spectrum of general through to specific methodologies
- Assessment of on-site water treatment methods, system advantages & shortcomings, toxicity/microbe levels, etc.
- Analysis of indoor & outdoor swimming pools and spas, and consultation as to optimal systems to adopt.
- Consultation on building / renovation methods and materials, MSDS’s and (where applicable) HPDs, furnishing and domestic product use that avoids or minimises toxic exposures
- Creation of building certifications to quantify spaces according to Xtox’s uniquely developed environmental health standards
- Assessment of hotel rooms or entire buildings in the context of Xtox unique Hotel Accreditation Standards for low toxicity performance
- Residential and/or Commercial Property “Sick Building Syndrome” (SBS) Analyses

"XXtox": Things that we don't do!
Please note that Xtox does not replace the requirement for the usual industry professionals that have responsibilities to place non-harmful materials, designs, construction methodologies, etc. into the projects that they complete.
With the exception of the lumber liquidators formaldehyde case, the examples of incorrect materials specification and litigation given on this website are not necessarily specific to indoor human health concerns: fire specifications or building structural features, for example, are not part of the Xtox focus or statement of activity.
Xtox is specifically concerned with indoor or interior enclosed space (or water features) and the implementation of healthy Vs hazardous materials into those situations, specifically pertaining to air (or electromagnetic) quality of the space, and most relevant to human health.
The broad parallel to be drawn with these other cases quoted is, of course, that incorrect specification of materials can lead to various forms of business operations catastrophy. In quoting the occurrences, Xtox thus seeks simply to illustrate the way that bad materials might pave the way for enormous future trouble, via examples that are instances of incorrectly specified building materials.
Similarly, Xtox certifications and accreditations based upon the Xtox in-house standards are just that; they do not intend to, and nor should they take the place of, current construction industry building, pest, integrity, structure, fire or other performance standards, assessments or inspections already articulated elsewhere, and often enshrined in codes and trade of practice and legislation. Conversely, what Xtox intends is to bridge the gap in terms of better understanding and remediating the various toxicities found in human health in enclosed spaces, with the goal towards more healthy spaces for human occupation.
An Xtox Healthy Building Accreditation / Certification is in no way intended to be a substitute for a building inspection, and does not elaborate upon the same things as a home building inspection. It is recommended that if you have a standard home building inspection booked, that you co-ordinate both inspections at the same time so that Xtox can discuss building characteristics with the home building inspector, so as to maximise the usefulness and insight of both building assessments.
