FIRST EDITION E-Pub Edition First Printing, 2020. Published by Kopy Haus Publishing Ft Lauderdale FL PREFACE Within the Surviving Mold and ISEAI communities, focus of both Assessment andRemediation has been on mold-induced illness from Water Damaged Buildings. But when thereis obvious water damage, especially where sick people are involved, the leak and resultant damage are generally quickly identified and quickly fixed. Assessment andRemediation of common water damage problems are not only typically straightforward but also such damage is covered by Home Owners insurance. Therefore easy to hire professionals to properly fix... or is it? Here we focus on patients not currently living in or perhaps not ever living in obvious water damage homes and yet suffer from what appears tobe moldinduced, mold-triggered or mold-aggravated Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), as well as fromany combination of allergies, asthma, respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, brain fog, rhinosinusitis, Lyme, dysbiosis, fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue conditions and other triggered Environmental Illnesses. We note an urgent and growing need to upgrade the quality of education and training for Indoor Environmental Professionals as well as Consumers to include: i. The special needs of mold-sensitive occupants with chronic inflammation. ii. Reliable and cost effective Assessment and Remediation procedures for all sources of exposure to hidden mold in not obviously water damaged buildings. iii. Assessment and Remediation procedures for all sources of the manyother inflammagensin homes besides mold that include bacteria, viruses, dust mites, micro-particles etc. Here we focus on common sense, affordable Assessment/Remediation procedures that not only work the first time but don’t involve tearing down all your walls, or selling your house, or throwing out all your possessions.
