Health-based Risk Assessment for Exposure to Airborne Mold in Residential Propertie3s

With reference to mold investigations, the three primary tasks of the Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) may be described as encompassing an exposure assessment, a risk assessment, and risk management. The focus of the inspection may be on determining if the structure is contaminated [exposure assessment], if the occupants are potentially at risk of adverse health effects [risk assessment], or both. If either the exposure assessment or the risk assessment is “unacceptable”, then risk management [remediation] is implemented.
