You need to ask the publisher! I am not involved with that in any way. But

do you want more *links* like this?

It might be good if people could annoptate the links with comments on their

specific applications to our situations.

In the long run, its good for people to know more about the science because

it works to bring more justice to the situation. But this article makes it

clear that often, things are more complicated than one would wish.

We desperately need some of these more sophisticated testing methodologies

to be commericialized and made available to the community.

For example, often, we should (in addition to testing for mold spores) be

testing for mycotoxins and VOCs. But How? Where can we find these tests?

They could answer a lot of pressing questions..
