A large county governemnt in south Florida recently requested Pure Air Control Services to develop a remediation plan that deviated from standard air handler and air conveyance remediation protocol. Normal procedures for remediation of Air Handling Units and Air Conveyance Systems typically include extensive measures that utilize a very defined process for hygenic maintenance of evaporator coils. This particular project, however, was different in the fact that a premature mechanical failure had caused the poor environmental conditions.  This article will briefly discuss standard remediation techniques and a solution to more unusual problems.

A longtime Portsmouth Naval Shipyard employee who suffers from acute respiratory problems believes mold growing in the basement of her workplace is responsible for her illness. The mold problem in Building 86’s basement was identified in a report by an independent consultant last September. The report recommended prompt removal of the mold and remediation of the areas affected.

The 48 Hours piece covers the plight of Erin Brockovich, who has recently battled "toxic mold" in her million-dollar California home. Remediation costs were nearly $600,000.00. Brockovich is suing the builder of her house, subcontractors and the former owner, claiming faulty construction caused water leaks that led to the mold.
