How does Lead or Asbestos experience help to address mould problems?
Lead is an inorganic element while Asbestos is an inorganic mineral. Both of these materials have been used extensively in building systems. The health hazards for these two materials have been well studied and detailed governmental regulations exist at the federal and state levels to address the problems. The sampling, analysis, corrective actions, and reporting are all clearly specified for investigator and contractors to follow. Mould is not an element. Mould is not a mineral. Mould is not well defined in terms of regulation or governmental programs. Mould is potentially a living concern. Lead and Asbestos can be remediated, or permanently removed or fixed. Mould amplification can only be mitigated as it will return if the conditions are right. Lead and Asbestos training in personal protection, isolation, and handling materials of concern can be helpful. The mould principal hazards (or lack thereof), the investigative methods, the mitigation methods, the proof of clearance are all b
