FEATURE/Hot, Humid Weather, Flooding Breed Toxic Mold

How To Deal With This Emerging Problem

Toxic mold is emerging as the " next asbestos " - with legislators beginning

to propose bills that mandate cleanup standards; insurance companies facing

increased claims; and lawsuits resulting from growing health problems of

occupants in residential and commercial buildings affected by toxic mold.

People infected by toxic mold are susceptible to ailments ranging from

flu-like symptoms to liver damage. In turn, building owners, contractors,

insurance companies and remediation companies are vulnerable to serious

financial liability if mold problems aren't dealt with quickly, and stopped

at their source - usually being water damage due to leaky pipes, roofs, or

flooding.

WHO:

Burton Fried, president of LVI Services (http://www.moldstoppers.com) is

available to:

Delineate how to identify mold problems;

Discuss the importance of mold removal standards;

Dispel common myths about mold and mold clean-up and decontamination,

including the common thought that residents can easily remove mold on their

own;

Describe the appropriate procedures that need to be taken when there's a

mold scare; and

Debate the implications of mold bills currently making their way through US

Congress and other state legislatures;

WHAT:

Founded in 1986, LVI Services (http://www.lviservices.com) is the national

leader in all aspects of environmental remediation - removing and cleaning
