Occupational Health Safety - Dallas,TX*

The American Association of Occupational Health Nurses has recently

announced that it is hosting a one hour webcast, titled " The Mold

Crisis: An Update on Current Thoughts and Practices, " conducted by

René R. Salazar, Ph.D., CIH, on Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2007 at 2 p.m.

EST. Participants will receive 1.0 CNE credit.

The purpose of the webcast is to offer an industrial hygiene

approach to recognizing and evaluating mold problems of non-

industrial, indoor environments. The presentation will discuss

scientifically-sound methods of assessing mold problems, common

methods of characterizing potential exposures to individuals, and

generally recommended remedial response strategies. AAOHN says

participants will learn the basic characteristics of mold elements,

their ecological benefits, and how they have come to be perceived as

hazardous agents.

Salazar holds an undergraduate degree in microbiology, and masters

and doctorate degrees in Public Health from the University of South

Florida, College of Public Health.

Questions posed to faculty during the live webcast program through a

chat function will be answered in the last 10 minutes of the

program. Questions not answered during the broadcast will be posted

with answers in the online archive.
