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

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.

" 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.
