Real Estate agents and home owners would benefit from taking this on line course provided by the EPA. Many Real
Estate agents do not understand that a mold test is only part of a mold assessment. You should not decide if a home
has a mold problem based soley on air samples collected by a home inspector or anyone. The Environmental Protection
Agency warns against this:
"remember that a negative sampling report must not be used in place of a visual survey. Factors such as barometric pressure, inside and outside
temperatures, activity levels, and humidity may dramatically reduce or increase the spore levels within a building. Air sampling
for mold provides information on what was in the air only for the moment when the sampling occurred. It is important, therefore,
that sampling not replace visual inspection."
"Sampling for mold should be conducted by professionals who have specific experience in designing mold sampling
protocols, sampling methods, and
interpreting the results."EPA
This
course provides an overview of mold prevention and mold remediation. It is based on EPA's voluntary guidance document Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial
Buildings. Public health and environmental health professionals
who are involved with mold issues may be interested in this course. Building managers, custodians, remediators, contractors,
and other professionals who respond to mold problems may also want to refer to this course.
