Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. Notes Heightened National Attention to Mold-Related Diseases: Government Agencies Recognize Health Risks

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (Business Wire EON) November 7, 2007 -- In 2007, the Minister of Health Canada published residential indoor air quality guidelines and stated that exposure to indoor mold is associated with an increased prevalence of asthma-related symptoms and that health risks depend on exposure and, for asthma symptoms, on allergic sensitization. The Ministry has also linked Organic Dust Toxic Syndrome (ODTS) to mold. The Mayo Clinic estimated in 1999 that there were more than 40 million Americans suffering from chronic sinus infections, and that 38 million of these cases were caused by molds.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency has a mold course, "Introduction to Mold and Mold Remediation for Environmental and Public Health Professionals" on its web site, at http://epa.gov/mold/moldcourse The course provides an overview of mold prevention and mold remediation, based on the EPA's voluntary guidance document, "Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings." The EPA states that "mold spores can become airborne and end up in heating and air conditioning systems." The EPA reports show that repeated exposure to certain molds can cause serious health problems, especially in children and the elderly.

"Toxic mold can turn into a nightmare. According to the EPA, contaminants inside a home can reach concentration levels as much as 200 percent greater than the same contaminants in outside air," noted Edward L. Torres, Chairman and CEO of Environmental Service Professionals (ESP). "In partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-Department of Health and Human Services produced and distributed an updated 'Healthy Housing Reference Manual' to provide comprehensive recommendations to make homes healthier and safer. One of the public health issues addressed in the manual is indoor air pollution.

"We think sick indoor environments are a major health concern, and are gratified that government agencies are recognizing the associated health risks. But we're not just pointing out the alarming statistics; we offer a solution," continued Mr. Torres. "The way to avoid a mold-contaminated home or office is to cure the underlying cause by detecting water intrusion before it becomes a significant issue. Through our certified annual inspections, the early detection of moisture-related issues and/or microbial growth can be addressed when the problems are small and easy to remediate," he concluded.
