RE: Books on Toxic Mold in Buildings, Any Best Sellers?

[Guest guest]

There are several books discussing health effects of mold and other sick

building issues. Most are rather technical, and not likely to become best

sellers. Look on the web site for American Concerence for Governmental

Industrial Hygienists, www.acgih.org for a big selection. One to be

particualrly highlighted is " Bioaerosols: Assessment and Control " . This was

written by several experts in the field of indoor air quality.

Elsevier Science published an interesting book in 1994 titled " Health

Implications of Fungi in Indoor Environments " . It also is mostly technical,

but has an excellent, easy to understand introductory chapter.

Some university environmental engineering departments are using

McGraw-Hill's " Indoor Air Quality Handbook.

All these books are expensive, $100 or more. A more affordable and well

written book aimed at consumers is Jeff May's " My House is Killing Me " ,

available in paperback around $30 on amazon.com and in some bookstores. This

book only lightly mentions the health effects, but offers excellent thoughts

on problem causes and how to remedy them.

Don't forget to read some web articles. One of the best is " Is Indoor Mold

Contamination a Threat to Health? " by Harriet M. Ammann, Ph.D., D.A.B.T.

Subject: Books on Toxic Mold in Buildings, Any Best Sellers?

Have there been any books in the last few years on toxic mold in

buildings, and about toxic mold's effects on the people living in

them? Have there been any best sellers?
