The Illustrated Mold Handbook
Learn to Identify Mold and Fungi Contamination and How to Remove Mold Contamination Properly

Learn How To Identify The Subtle Signs of Mold Contamination

The signs of mold contamination are often subtle, yet the damaging effects can result in chronic illness. This handbook is a collection of site photographs and case studies of fungi contaminated locations. Contained within this manual is information, including charts and graphs, to gain insight into causes, sampling, health effects, locations and general information about MOLD. Take the time to learn about this growing environmental issue.

The Illustrated Mold Handbook identifies the causes of mold, how to find mold, how to sample mold, and how mold works in the indoor environment.

Mold is everywhere. Its spores, or byproducts, may or may not bother you. Many people, after continual exposure to mold, can be sensitized. To those people that are immune-system compromised, mold is a clear and present danger. As inspectors, or homeowners, it is important to identify the conditions and eliminate the sources of water, nutrients, and ultimately, the mold itself.
