MICROBIOLOGICAL (MOULD) CONTAMINATION
IN BUILDINGS
Over the past number of years there has been an increased awareness
as well as considerable interest in the presence of mould contamination
in buildings, and the association between mould growth and adverse
health effects. Although there are many other conditions that
can adversely affect Indoor Air Quality, mould is perhaps the
one condition that at present is the least understood among building
occupants, managers and owners. The course is intended to provide
attendees with a better understanding of how mould is identified,
how to interpret reports and laboratory results, and successful
remediation strategies.
