Take the time to learn about this growing environmental issue.

The Illustrated Mold Handbook identifies the causes of mold, how to find mold, how to sample mold, and how mold works in the indoor environment.

Mold is everywhere. Its spores, or byproducts, may or may not bother you. Many people, after continual exposure to mold, can be sensitized. To those people that are immune-system compromised, mold is a clear and present danger. As inspectors, or homeowners, it is important to identify the conditions and eliminate the sources of water, nutrients, and ultimately, the mold itself.
