Investigation techniques and analytical methodologies foraddressing microbial contamination indoors
Microbial contamination indoors is a significant environmentaland occupational health and safety problem. This book providesfundamental background information on fungal and bacterial growthindoors as well as in-depth, practical approaches to analyzing andremedying problems. The information helps investigators, laboratorymanagers, and environmental health professionals properly usestate-of-the-science methods and correctly interpret the results.With chapters by expert microbiologists, mycologists, environmentalprofessionals, and industrial hygienists, Sampling and Analysisof Indoor Microorganisms is a multidisciplinary, comprehensivereference on advanced approaches, covering:
* Microbiological problems in a water-damaged environment
* Indoor construction techniques and materials that impactenvironmental microbiology
* Microbial ecology indoors, airborne bacteria, genetic-basedanalytical methods, and statistical tools for microorganismanalysis
* Microbiological sampling approaches
* Mold removal principles and methods, including specializedmicrobial remediation techniques for HVAC systems, legionellas andbiofilms, and sewage contamination
* A forensic approach toward the assessment of fungal growth inthe indoor environment
A must-have guide for practicing professionals, includingenvironmental health and safety personnel, public health officials,and building and construction engineers and architects, this isalso a valuable reference for attorneys, home inspectors, waterrestoration personnel, mold remediation contractors, insuranceadjusters, and others.
