Lawrence got his start in this field in 1987 when both he and his wife were made environmentally ill by their home and work environments. He has learned the hard way – through personal experience about creating an environment that supports health. Lawrence moved to Atlanta Georgia in 1993 and established Healthy Environments Unlimited to provide consulting services and products for creating healthier indoor environments. Lawrence relocated to the San Diego, California area in November 1997 and to Ventura, CA in 2006.
Today 95% of homes and 60% of offices have one or more environmental pollution problems. However, much can be done by each individual to create a health-supporting environment. Lawrence’s mission is to help people do this.
Lawrence’s expertise includes the areas of in indoor environmental inspection, measurement and interpretation of environmental parameters, safe building practices, air purification systems and water purification systems, and electromagnetic radiation countermeasures.
Since 1993 he has been consulting, teaching and speaking about the health effects of the indoor environment and what people can do to clean up their own environments.
