AMERICAN INDOOR AIR QUALITY COUNCIL

LOS ANGELES CHAPTER QUARTERLY WORKSHOP

Dear Friend:

As you may be aware, the presence of mold in the indoor environment can be

devastating for occupants and building owners. However, there is

considerable confusion and controversy in the real estate and legal

communities about water damage and toxic mold contamination, particularly

with regard to the difficult question of " How much mold is too much? " In an

effort to address this problem and others, California State Senator Deborah

Ortiz (D-Sacramento) has proposed the Toxic Mold Protection Act of 2001

(SB732), which would require the Department of Health Services to assess the

feasibility of adopting permissible exposure limits (PEL's) for mold. This

would be ground-breaking research, to say the least. The bill would also

impose disclosure requirements on realtors, sellers and landlords and set

standards for remediation. The bill is gaining momentum, and if it passes,

will have a dramatic impact on parties to real estate transactions,

landlords, insurers, policyholders, restoration contractors, lawyers and

many others.

This is a reminder about the American Air Quality Council Los Angeles

Chapter Quarterly Workshop, where I will be making a presentation on SB732

and discussing how the Bill may affect you and/or your business.

The workshop will be held on Wednesday, July 18, 2001 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00

p.m. at the Skirball Center, 2701 North Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles, CA

90049.

I encourage you to attend. A registration form is attached for your use.

Please register immediately, as seating is very limited. If you have any

questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (714) 541-2767 or

e-mail me at edcross@.... I look forward to seeing you at the

workshop.
