2 ABOUT US Leaders in Environmental Health. Creating healthier buildings together. Founded in 2007, the ASBB are leaders in environmental health. Our mission is to support our members of the association by delivering value and service through training, information and collaboration. Our goal is to create a much greater awareness of Building Biology (and principles that govern it) to government policy makers, the public, media, building and health practitioners. Building Biology although practiced in Europe since the 70 s is a new and emerging field in environmental health in Australia. Building biology is the evaluation and control of health hazards in the built environment. This involves assessing the home for allergens, toxicants, electromagnetic fields and biotoxins unique to a waterdamaged building, and providing strategies to address exposure and/or source control and abatement. Nicole Bijlsma Our qualified members are here to educate and work with the public to create healthy environments guided by the 25 Principles of Building Biology and the precautionary principles which underpin it. We believe that building biology principles incorporated into mainstream building practice would vastly improve the buildings we live and work in. We advocate for the rights of individuals to live and work in healthy environments. Our values of service, integrity and collaboration, reflect these guiding principles and professional standards of our industry for the purpose of providing support, training and information for members and the public.
