AURORA, IL, June 26, 2013 (Press-News.org) Aftermath Inc., the nation's largest biohazard remediation company, announced the company will open a new office in Pittsburgh. This office will help Aftermath expand its efforts to quickly respond to customers in need throughout the continental United States.
The company provides remediation and cleaning services for blood spills, crime scenes, suicides, unattended death, hoarding and tear gas in homes and businesses.
"Our goal is to expand on our regional service 'epicenter' offices around the country so a crew can be virtually anywhere in the United States within four hours," said Kevin Reifsteck, Vice President of Operations. "Our Pittsburgh office will help us get teams dispatched quickly when there's a need, such as traumatic events in the city and surrounding suburbs. Sometimes in bigger cities, people are more isolated socially and thus unattended deaths become a factor for us, often as much as our typical crime and suicide situations."
The new office will serve as a base of operations for Aftermath biohazard remediation crews, with response vehicles specially equipped to respond to any biohazard assignment - even tear gas or animal hoarding.
"It's absolutely critical that we respond to a call quickly," said Kevin Crouch, the Pittsburgh office supervisor for Aftermath. "Our number one priority is getting a scene remediated quickly so families and businesses can begin to heal and move on."
The Pittsburgh location will serve customers in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, eastern Ohio and western New York. Aftermath currently operates another Pennsylvania office in Allentown.

2013-06-26
The most difficult hurdle to getting a higher education today has nothing to do with studying, taking tests or writing papers. The biggest challenge of gaining the level of education needed to succeed is actually paying for it once you graduate!
Student loan debt in the United States now totals $1 trillion. To put that amount into perspective, it eclipses the total amount of credit card debt owed by all American citizens combined.
To make matters worse, the Senate failed to advance measures that would keep interest rates from doubling on July 1st, 2013.

2013-06-25
MAYWOOD, Il. -- In women who have type 2 diabetes and show signs of depression, vitamin D supplements significantly lowered blood pressure and improved their moods, according to a pilot study at Loyola University Chicago Niehoff School of Nursing.

From minute to massive -- mammal size evolution explained
2013-06-25
Scientists have added another piece to the evolutionary puzzle to explain why certain mammal families evolved to be very large, while others remained tiny.
In research published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, an international group of scientists including Monash University's Dr Alistair Evans proposed a new theory explaining the diversity of mammal sizes - from the Etruscan shrew which weighs around two grams, to the blue whale which clocks in at almost 200 tonnes. Surprisingly, baby weight relative to adult body mass is key.
Dr Evans, of the Monash School of ...

Feeling stressed?
2013-06-25
