All molds can cause health problems, since they produce allergens and irritants that cause reactions in humans. Some molds also produce toxins (mycotoxins) as part of their defense mechanisms. What is important to know in dealing with remediation of mold is that it remains allergenic and toxigenic even in a non-viable state

As an Industrial Hygienist having the experience and education to properly identify and mitigate these problems is an asset to initiate this service for my customers.

When dealing with mold it is not enough to just kill mold by, for example, applying a biocide like bleach. A good remediation plan will identify the source of moisture, remove the mold and spores, and prevent the recurrence of the problem. Such removal work must be contained, like asbestos removal, to minimize contamination of other parts of the building. This type of remediation when done properly is beneficial to our community, business and families to prevent those illnesses caused by mold to sensitive individuals.
