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.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month including asbestos education, so this is a good time to raise awareness about preventing unnecessary exposure to asbestos that can cause lung cancer as well as contribute to other possible health concerns.

Short of moving your building or raising it up above flooding, the best approach to take to reduce storm, flooding and natural disaster losses is to simply use a proven coating to wind and waterproofthe surfaces in the path of destruction.

We recently passed the anniversary of 9-11-2001 tragedy of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York. I wanted to remind everyone that the effects of that fateful day are still being felt and especially by some of the heroes that were affected by the initial exposure and then the secondary exposure that took place during the cleanup. Some of those exposed were firefighters, police officers, EMTs (Emergency Medical Technician), construction workers, transit workers, cleanup workers, debris removal crews, truck drivers, nearby office workers, and Lower Manhattan residents.

I discussed in a recent blog the importance of keeping the aesthetics of a historic building intact. Making sure that the look and overall presentation on a structure is preserved is very significant. This is especially true with landmark properties that have prominent and distinct features. Preservation can become very difficult when it entails obsolete building materials that contain hazardous materials that are typically removed and replaced. Three of the most common of hazardous materials is lead-based paint, asbestos and PCBs. In the USA, lead was used in paints up until 1978. It then was banned for its negative health effects, especially with children in their developing stages. PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, were banned from paints, caulking and surface coatings in 1979 and asbestos was banned in 1974. All these bans were due to the negative health and environmental effects of these products.
