Re: AIHA Mold Teleweb - February 24th - 2-3 pm

[Guest guest]

Hi, folks!

The first of four Mold Book discussions was held yesterday, and we had over one

hundred participants! There were a few technical glitches at the beginning of

the session, but those were ironed out and the second half of the session went

so well that it was extended by a half hour.

There will be three more sessions on Sections 2-4:

March 17th - 2-3 pm - Section 2 - Building Evaluations

April 21st - 2-3 pm - Section 3 - Sampling & Lab Analysis - Interpretation of

Results

May 12th - 2-3 pm - Section - Remediation and Prevention

demonstrate new onset asthma ion public buildings has roughly doubled. Another

broad change is that two additional cognizant authority positions have been

mechanistic bases for the long-recognized epidemiological effect of mold and

respiratory health, namely effects not associated with allergy. "
