Corporate Training By Zack Academy - Introduction to Mold - Big Apple

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This Introduction to Mold course provides an overview of the impact of mold on our environment and of the principals and procedures involved in the inspection, testing, abatement and management of molds - but also extends into mold remediation techniques.

Molds are found everywhere within interiors and exteriors, and can grow on almost any substance when moisture is present. Molds reproduce by spores, which can be carried by air currents. When these spores land on a moist surface that is suitable for life, they begin to grow. Mold is normally found indoors at levels that do not affect most healthy individuals.

Because common building materials are capable of sustaining mold growth, and mold spores are ubiquitous, mold growth in an indoor environment is typically related to water or moisture indoors. Mold growth may also be caused by incomplete drying of flooring materials such as concrete. Flooding, leaky roofs, building maintenance problems, or indoor plumbing problems can lead to mold growth inside.
