[Guest guest]

Government Agencies Recognize Health Risks

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (Business Wire EON) November 7, 2007 --

Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. (OTCBB:EVSP) today reflected on

the health fallout from toxic mold and the attention this issue is

garnering from government agencies in the United States and Canada.

In 2007, the Minister of Health Canada published

residential indoor air quality guidelines and stated that exposure to

indoor mold is associated with an increased prevalence of asthma-related

symptoms and that health risks depend on exposure and, for asthma symptoms, on

allergic sensitization. The Ministry has also linked Organic Dust

Toxic Syndrome (ODTS) to mold. The Mayo Clinic estimated in 1999 that

there were more than 40 million Americans suffering from chronic sinus

infections, and that 38 million of these cases were caused by molds.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency has a mold course,

“Introduction to Mold and Mold Remediation for Environmental and Public

Health Professionals” on its web site, at http://epa.gov/mold/moldcourse.

The course provides an overview of mold prevention and mold remediation,

based on the EPA’s voluntary

guidance document, “Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial

Buildings.” The EPA states that “mold spores can become airborne

and end up in heating and air conditioning systems.” The EPA reports show

that repeated exposure to certain molds can cause serious health

problems, especially in children and the elderly.

The way to avoid a mold-contaminated home or office is to cure the underlying

cause by detecting water intrusion before it becomes a significant issue.

Through our certified annual inspections, the early detection of

moisture-related issues and/or microbial growth can be addressed when the

problems are small and easy to remediate

Toxic mold can turn into a nightmare. According to the EPA, contaminants

inside a home can reach concentration levels as much as 200 percent greater than

the same contaminants in outside air,” noted L. , Chairman

and CEO of Environmental Service Professionals (ESP). “In partnership

with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention-Department of Health and Human Services produced and

distributed an updated ‘Healthy Housing Reference Manual’ to provide

comprehensive recommendations to make homes healthier and safer. One of the

public health issues addressed in the manual is indoor air pollution.

“We think sick indoor environments are a major health concern, and

are gratified that government agencies are recognizing the associated health

risks. But we’re not just pointing out the alarming statistics; we offer

a solution,” continued Mr. . “The way to avoid a mold-contaminated

home or office is to cure the underlying cause by detecting water intrusion

before it becomes a significant issue. Through our certified annual inspections,

the early detection of moisture-related issues and/or microbial growth can be

addressed when the problems are small and easy to remediate,” he

concluded.
