Most people are aware of the hazards they face when they leave the house, such as traffic accidents and pollution. However, there are many health hazards that have the potential to develop in the home as well. Here are three health hazards that can be found at home. 

1. Mold

Mold tends to grow in damp, dark locations including pipes, insulation, ceiling tiles, and carpet. Exposure to mold can cause reactions in people where their eyes, nose, throat, lungs, and skin become irritated.

What are some problems associated with tree removal? Compaction is one of the main problems affecting urban trees. Compaction involves an increase in soil resistance, a decrease in porosity, a decrease in liquid porosity, oxygen, and nutrients. The immediate consequence of the reduction in root growth is the reduction of the aerial part. Likewise, the reduction in the extension and the greater superficiality of the roots can cause problems of instability of the trees and danger of falling.

Opened Trenches

The opening of trenches in the vicinity of the base of the tree can lead to the loss of 50% of the root system, causing problems of stability and viability of the tree. On these occasions, it is necessary to make tunnels or open ditches manually to avoid or reduce damage to the roots. To allow the maximum development of the trees, we would have to ensure that … Read More
