Information is free. It is gathering and interpreting the
information that cost time and money. You can find a lot of information on mold,
its health affects, and how to deal with it. Trying to understand the
information is another matter. The medical and scientific terms used by the
better sources may be difficult to those who don’t have sufficient background in
biology and chemistry. The Mold Health Guide explains molds in everyday
language. It details where mold exposure may occur, in the home, in the school,
in the workplace, in the environment.
There is no truer saying than “an ounce of
prevention is better than a pound of cure.” The Mold Health Guide
has sections on how to prevent and minimize mold exposure. It contains helpful
tips on where to look for molds, what to look for, and what to do when molds are
found.
This book is written by mold expert Philip Fry, once with
the US Public Health Services,
National Institutes of Health, also a former
hospital and medical center administrator, with first-hand encounter with
mold-related health problems. Mr. Fry is a Certified Mold Inspector, Certified
Mold Contractor, Certified Environmental Inspector, and a Certified Home
Inspector.
