Adam Jones, Production Manager for Disaster Plus and CrawlspacesPlus.com, recently attended a one-day mold refresher course held by the Restoration Industry Association (RIA). This course included 1) a review of updated guidelines and regulations that impact the field of mold control, and 2) an examination of the new technology and equipment designed to make the removal of mold safer and more efficient.
The course made reference to the book Fungal Contamination: A Comprehensive Guide for Remediation, written by Michael Pinto, CMP, CEO of Wonder Makers Environmental, Inc., and David Janke, a Bioaerosol Analyst also of Wonder Makers Environmental, Inc. Serving as the Mold Refresher course manual, this book is the first of its kind to provide a detailed description of mold control by pulling together the latest techniques and important references.
