Concerns about mold in residences, schools, commercial
and public buildings, both new and old construction,
have significantly increased over the past few
years. The issue is being driven by health effects,
tort liability, and media coverage. Currently,
there are no regulations, federal or state accreditations
for training, or established exposure limits for
mold. Yet, homebuilders, facility managers, industrial
hygienists, environmental consultants, remediation
and restoration contractors, insurance claims adjusters
and many others are called upon to address the
problem.
The purpose of this course is to provide
practical and impartial guidance, in the absence of
regulations and standardized protocols, for assessing
and remediating mold and moisture in buildings. A distinction
will be made between what is known about the topic
and what is controversial. The course materials rely
upon the best available resources.
Detailed information is provided on finding moisture
in buildings, visual inspection and sampling for
mold, data evaluation, techniques and personal
protective equipment for removing mold and moisture,
and project monitoring and clearance. Health effects
and legal issues associated with these activities
are also discussed.
