Many scientists agree: indoor air may be more dangerous to our health than the air outside. One reason is mold. Difficult to find and even tougher to get rid of, mold has been linked to asthma, skin rashes and a host of other unpleasant symptoms including dizziness, watery eyes and sinus infections. Lawsuits involving mold and indoor air quality issues are now commonplace, especially when schools or new homes are involved. And if a mold problem is not controlled quickly, it can render a building permanently uninhabitable.
If you're dealing with a moldy building, this one-day program will help you understand how to manage the problem and protect yourself from potential liability. This course was designed specifically for busy professionals who are or may be involved in the investigation and resolution of indoor mold issues. Using real-world case studies, you will learn how to respond to known or suspected mold contamination in a building and produce scientifically sound recommendations for remedial activities.
