Sean Scott, author of The Red
Guide to Recovery – Resource Handbook for Disaster Survivors and Secrets of The
Insurance Game, is offering up important and often overlooked health and safety
information for structural fire survivors, first responders and anyone moving
into a home that had previously suffered a fire.
In an in-depth article posted on
The Red Guide to Recovery website, Scott, an author, disaster recovery expert
and fire restoration contractor who has spent nearly four decades in the
construction and restoration business, outlines in detail what
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), better known simply as “dioxin,”
is, how dioxins are formed in a fire, and why they pose such serious and
overlooked health risks. Dioxins have been identified by scientists as being
the second most toxic chemicals known to man – bested only by radioactive
waste.
In this new article, Scott – who
has worked on literally thousands of residential and commercial property damage
claims and has spent decades researching the implications and challenges of
post-fire scenarios – explains why most protocols for working in or around fire
damaged structures or restoring contaminated textiles are actually woefully
ineffective in terms of the detection and eradication of dioxins.
