Abatement Technologies, a manufacturer of HEPA-based air filtration and construction containment equipment designed to help protect those in and around construction in critical and commercial spaces, has released a new white paper on best practices for controlling, containing, and remediating indoor mold growth.
Titled, ‘Mold & Indoor Air Quality’, the white paper also highlights key equipment for removing harmful mold spores and particulates from the air, including reusable containment barrier walls and HEPA filtration systems.
Removing harmful mold spores
“Excessive moisture is a common problem in commercial and residential buildings alike. It could be from a leaking roof, a burst pipe, a flash flood, or even poor ventilation. And wherever there is excessive moisture, mold can begin growing in as little as 24 hours. By following the best practices outlined in our latest whitepaper, mold remediation contractors can respond in a way that’s fast, safe, and efficient,” said Brian Strawn, Director of Business Development, Abatement Technologies.
‘Mold & Indoor Air Quality’ readers will learn the following:
- Common causes of indoor mold growth: How excessive moisture and standing water lead to mold growth in commercial buildings, homes, and other facilities.
- Harmful effects of exposure: How mold causes health complications and damages building materials.
- Proper mold testing and remediation procedures: Assessments, standards, and methodology for safely removing mold and affected materials.
- Key tools for the job: Using reusable containment barrier walls and portable HEPA filtration systems to contain affected areas and remove harmful airborne particulates.
