Re: Advise needed on IAQ system - filth

[Guest guest]

Carl,

When remediating for the various possible components in the " filth " . Is the

procedure for remediating the same for the filth as a whole? Or do you really

need to remediate differently for say any bacteria or other culprits in the

filth? If the process is the same, then is the key element in the testing prior

and after the remediation to see if all the elements of the filth are removed?

This email was a great reminder about what the priorities are.

Thanks very much,

Sam

" 6. Water damage creates more than mold growth. It also creates

bacterial growth, rot, and release of chemicals from water

damaged materials according to the 2004 Inst of Medicine Report

" Damp Indoor Spaces and Health. " The 2008 AIHA publication

" Recognition, Evaluation, and Control of Indoor Mold " broadened

that concern to what they called " filth caused by moisture. " The

recent WHO report goes even further. It is a mistake to focus

only on mold when any of the other factors can make you ill. You

need them all removed with a particular focus on moisture and

water damage. "
