Slightly off the mold but I thought still a relevant post as it deals with indoor air quality.

A blog worth checking out…

A colleague of mine was kind enough to send me a link to a blog she has visited and thought would be useful for my visitors.

The Apergillus Website Blog.

A little info about their site …  “The Aspergillus Website is dedicated to providing information on aspergillus, aspergillosis, aspergilloma and other health problems caused by aspergillus to the professional and layperson. This blog will be used to provide latest information, news, current events, announcements and links to useful information.”

Mold remediation companies tested in Arizona. (Article)

Here is another story of a local news station going undercover and checking out mold remediation companies. The key to the story is located in the last line..  “Consumers who think they may have mold should first have it tested. The test usually costs between $100 and $400 and it takes a couple days to get the results back.” I couldn’t agree more… having a third party inspector out to inspect and test who also DOES NOT PROFIT from remediation is the best way to protect yourself as a consumer.
