'Following several months of review by outside experts and extensive onsite visitations, our achievement of lead accreditation will enable us to expand our national expertise in environmental testing considerably,' said SanAir President Sean McGlynn. 'Since our founding in 2003 we have grown to successful national recognition for our work in identifying and isolating fungi and other potentially dangerous pathogens in public venues such as shopping malls, hospitals and schools.'

'Now with AIHA's coveted Laboratory Accreditation Program in environmental lead, we will be able to expand into additional venues, especially among industrial concerns,' McGlynn said.

Founded in 1939, the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) is the premier association of occupational and environmental health and safety professionals. AIHA's 10,077 members play a crucial role on the front line of worker health and safety every day.  Members represent a cross-section of industry, private business, labor, government and academia.

SanAir is based in Oakbridge Industrial Park in Powhatan County, Virginia near the new Watkins Center development, a major component in Richmond's rapid multi-use business growth. From modest beginnings, SanAir has grown to be a full-service national laboratory offering analytical and consulting services specialized in asbestos, bacterial detection and identification, environmental microbiology, environmental lead and metals, Legionella, and materials testing.
