the live links to each of these documents, just go to my website at

State-of-the-Art / Essential Resources

A rapid expansion of the publication of mold-related scientific literature,

and indoor air quality position statements from authoritative sources has

occurred in response to the national attention to the issue of " toxic mold "

as reported in the mass media. As a result, scientific literature and

position statements from only a few years ago may not represent contemporary

scientific thought in this area of study.

Listed below are a few of the major publications that represent the current

State-Of-The-Art science regarding the Assessment, Remediation, Post

Remediation Verification, and Health Effects of Mold Growth in Buildings.

Most of these publications are free; a few are available at minimal cost.

All of these publications should be considered essential resources by

parties involved in litigation pertaining to mold in buildings.
