Subject: school mold remediation - web resources

Dear list members:

I had the opportunity to work with a school on a mold remediation project

and compiled the following web resource list for the PTA. Web pages

include general information on molds/fungus and health concerns,

including asthma/allergy. Posting it here for the benefit of the Duke

OEM on-line community.
