John Downey, executive director of CIRI, joins us to talk Healthy Buildings America 2021. The theme of this year’s conference, scheduled for Jan. 18-20, 2022, is “Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice – In the Age of COVID-19 and Beyond.”
Mycotoxins, the chemical byproducts produced by mold, are linked with many health effects and need to be removed during remediation, as well as the visible colonies and microscopic spores.
Beginning April 15, CIRI will launch its three-part webinar series, “Aerosols, Fomites and Indoor Air Quality: What Research Says About the Impact of Cleaning on Health.”
This R&R Q&A features a topic that’s gotten even more popular since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic: duct cleaning. Today, extensive cleaning and disinfection services often include the HVAC system, which has prompted some restoration contractors to add duct cleaning as an additional service.
Mentoring owners of small businesses in the indoor air quality industry (IAQ) is what the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors (NORMI) has been doing for more than 16 years. It is true, the organization is a training and certifying trade association, but it's not just about getting certified—it's about building a successful business.
