Business Wire (press release) - San Francisco,CA

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets

(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c55191) has announced the

addition of " Sampling and Analysis of Indoor Micro organisms " to

their offering.

Microbial contamination indoors is a significant environmental and

occupational health and safety problem. This book provides

fundamental background information on fungal and bacterial growth

indoors as well as in-depth, practical approaches to analyzing and

remedying problems. The information helps investigators, laboratory

managers, and environmental health professionals properly use state-

of-the-science methods and correctly interpret the results. With

chapters by expert microbiologists, mycologists, environmental

professionals, and industrial hygienists, Sampling and Analysis of

Indoor Micro organisms is a multidisciplinary, comprehensive

reference on advanced approaches, covering:

Microbiological problems in a water-damaged environment

Indoor construction techniques and materials that impact

environmental microbiology

Microbial ecology indoors, airborne bacteria, genetic-based

analytical methods, and statistical tools for micro organism

analysis

Microbiological sampling approaches

Mold removal principles and methods, including specialized microbial

remediation techniques for HVAC systems, legionellas and biofilms,

and sewage contamination

A forensic approach toward the assessment of fungal growth in the

indoor environment

A must-have guide for practicing professionals, including

environmental health and safety personnel, public health officials,

and building and construction engineers and architects, this is also

a valuable reference for attorneys, home inspectors, water

restoration personnel, mold remediation contractors, insurance

adjusters, and others.
