- book excerpt -
In the latter part of the 20th century, residential concerns were being addressed with greater frequency. The target components included carbon monoxide, allergens, electromagnetic radiation, radon, and a medley of household products. Recently, the target-offending agents in all indoor air environments have become molds. Headlines herald, " The dish on hotel air", "Moldy attitudes on indoor air need a good scrubbing", "The good, the bad and the moldy", and "Fungal sleuths".
Many indoor air quality situations culminate with litigation, differences in health impact, differences in perceived health effects, and failed regulatory limits. Guidelines are being created by recognized public agencies, and investigators are being called upon to make decisions with minimal support and direction. Indoor air quality investigations are truly only now becoming common.
