In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the role that women can play in driving innovation and sustainable practices in the construction industry.

One area where women have been particularly influential is in the development and use of green coatings encasement technologies. These coatings protect and preserve surfaces in buildings, preventing damage from moisture, UV light, and other environmental factors. Unlike traditional coatings, which can contain harmful chemicals and contribute to air pollution, green coatings use natural ingredients and are much safer for both human health and the environment.
Green coatings encasement has a particularly important role to play in protecting women's health in the construction industry. Women are often more susceptible than men to the health effects of exposure to hazardous chemicals and pollutants. For example, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of chemicals like lead and mercury, which can be found in some traditional coatings.
By using green coatings encasement, we can reduce the exposure of women and other workers in the construction industry to harmful chemicals and pollutants. Additionally, the use of green coatings can improve indoor air quality, which has been shown to have a positive impact on human health and productivity.
Women have been at the forefront of developing and promoting green coatings encasement technologies. Many women-led companies have recognized the need for sustainable solutions in the construction industry and have been instrumental in developing and commercializing these products. Additionally, women have played an important role in educating architects, builders, and consumers about the benefits of green coatings and the importance of environmentally responsible construction practices.
By empowering women in the field of green coatings encasement, we can create a more sustainable and equitable future. Women bring unique perspectives and experiences to the development of new technologies, and their participation in the industry can help to ensure that sustainable practices are integrated into all aspects of construction and building maintenance.
As we celebrate Women's Month, it is important to recognize the important role that women are playing in driving innovation and sustainable practices in the construction industry, particularly in the area of green coatings encasement. By promoting gender equality and empowering women in this field, we can protect the health and well-being of women in the construction industry and create a more sustainable future for all.

I’ve been having many discussions about the recent wildfires in California and how they pose environmental concerns after the initial threat has passed. The fallout from wildfires is immediate although much of the trouble continues when clean up starts. The cleanup can cause a whole set of concerns that can be dealt with using some simple solutions.

I’ve been camped out at the local hotel in Stilwell Oklahoma for the last few weeks. I was originally here to educate the Cherokee Tribe on how to safely in place manage the lead-based paint and asbestos in their buildings and housing. Also how to fortify their properties against heavy weather events and restore roofing. Things expanded from there as I came in just as the area was being hit with strong and disruptive weather.

Mavis is a personal friend of mine and I’m always so impressed with the important work she, her team and foundation are doing. She is so passionate about helping others and getting information out to educate all about exposure to asbestos and associated illnesses.
