PB2012105419

Publication Date	2006
Page Count	36
Abstract	This guide provides basic information about mold, mold sources, and building-related illnesses. Brief discussions are included on building design considerations for healthy indoor air, as well as building evaluation and sampling for mold. However, detailed information about indoor air quality diagnostic studies (e.g., normal vs. abnormal levels) and the design and execution of exposure sampling strategies is not included as this information is beyond the scope of this initiative. For approaches to remediation of moldy areas and the appropriate response based on the degree of the contamination, the reader should consult OSHA's Safety and Health Information Bulletin (SHIB 03-10-10) 'A Brief Guide to Mold in the Workplace'.
