Greetings friends, I'm happy to announce that Hunter College will be offering gratis Mold Assessment and Remediation Training shortly (gratis of course).  Jolanta and I see a 2 hour session covering these topics (with heavy emphasis on the last 3 items).

1. Biology and Sources of Mold 
2. Health Effects
3. Identification (visual and lab)
4. Assessment of hazard
5. Control / cleanup (worker protection and site protection)

Our intent is to provide cleanup crews with vital and correct information regarding entering a home with active mold contamination. The curriculum will follow factual guidelines from the NYC Dept of Health. 

Stay tuned and feel free to email me or Jolanta for details.
