Cutting Edge EPA Developed ERMI© PCR Tests for Mold in Homes to be

Donated.

EMSL is proud to be one of the first providers of a new home mold

test kit based on research from the United States Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA). Unlike other mold test kits for homes that

use questionable science, these test kits are the most complete

screening method available using the science and DNA technology

developed by EPA researchers.

According to the EPA molds produce allergens, irritants, and

potentially toxic substances. The EPA also recognizes that mold

exposure can trigger asthma attacks. According to the Asthma and

Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) over 20 million Americans are

affected by asthma, 30,000 people have an asthma attack each day,

and 11 people die daily due to asthma.

EMSL has decided to donate a limited supply of these free home mold

test kits and laboratory analyses to qualified residents and/or

homeowners to help those families that cannot otherwise afford this

important test. The process is simple, with a single dust sample

from a residence collected and then analyzed. The dust collection

device is supplied as part of the kit along with complete sampling

instructions and a prepaid return shipping container to the

laboratory.

" As the awareness of mold in homes continues to grow we felt it was

important to help a select number of families in need, " said

Cochrane, Business Development Director for EMSL Analytical. " If we

are able to make one home safe for a child or family suffering from

the negative effects of mold exposure then we have accomplished a

great feat, " Cochrane continued.
