Prevention: Control Water Sources!
• Mold spores are everywhere and can remain non-viable (not living but ready to live) for years
• Mold needs water to live; spore with water comes “alive” and starts to spread
• Lives on cellulosic type materials like cardboard, wood, paper side of drywall, paint on drywall, cove base or carpet glues/adhesives
• Controlling amount of water to colony controls growth rate/amount

Is it Mold?
• First, and perhaps most importantly, we need to determine if it is mold. Some building substrates with “contamination” may look deceiving….

If Not Mold…
• Water damage still an issue– Stop the water – Commence restorative drying of
materials after water source secured (within 24 hours)
• Amount of water damage will determine whether drying can be done in-house or by outside vendor
![Page 17: Mold Prevention & Remediation Jim Biddle, MS, CIH NAU Environmental Health & Safety 928-523-6109 (office) James.biddle@nau.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4e5503460f94b445ea/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Restorative Drying
![Page 18: Mold Prevention & Remediation Jim Biddle, MS, CIH NAU Environmental Health & Safety 928-523-6109 (office) James.biddle@nau.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4e5503460f94b445ea/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Dehumidification
![Page 19: Mold Prevention & Remediation Jim Biddle, MS, CIH NAU Environmental Health & Safety 928-523-6109 (office) James.biddle@nau.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4e5503460f94b445ea/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
If it is Mold….
How much is there?More or less than one sheet of drywall (~30 sq. ft)?
![Page 20: Mold Prevention & Remediation Jim Biddle, MS, CIH NAU Environmental Health & Safety 928-523-6109 (office) James.biddle@nau.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4e5503460f94b445ea/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
<30 square feet
EPA/OSHA/CDC says can be safely removed / cleaned in-house with Custodial, Res Life, Carpentry/Paint staff(If nobody has allergies)
![Page 21: Mold Prevention & Remediation Jim Biddle, MS, CIH NAU Environmental Health & Safety 928-523-6109 (office) James.biddle@nau.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4e5503460f94b445ea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
>30 square feet…
Most likely need a qualified vendor to remove (aka “remediation”)
![Page 22: Mold Prevention & Remediation Jim Biddle, MS, CIH NAU Environmental Health & Safety 928-523-6109 (office) James.biddle@nau.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4e5503460f94b445ea/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Remediation Time!
• General consensus among recognized organizations is to just get it out (EPA, AIHA, ACGIH, IICRC, etc.)
![Page 23: Mold Prevention & Remediation Jim Biddle, MS, CIH NAU Environmental Health & Safety 928-523-6109 (office) James.biddle@nau.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4e5503460f94b445ea/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
But how?
• Utilize “qualified” remediation firms• Latest, greatest, and safest
standard for removal is from Institute of Inspection, Cleaning & Restoration Certification (IICRC Standard S520, 2003)
![Page 24: Mold Prevention & Remediation Jim Biddle, MS, CIH NAU Environmental Health & Safety 928-523-6109 (office) James.biddle@nau.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4e5503460f94b445ea/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

IICRC Standard
• IDs three categories of indoor mold contamination resulting from water intrusion– Condition 1 (normal fungal ecology)– Condition 2 (settled spores)– Condition 3 (actual growth)
![Page 25: Mold Prevention & Remediation Jim Biddle, MS, CIH NAU Environmental Health & Safety 928-523-6109 (office) James.biddle@nau.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4e5503460f94b445ea/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

What condition is this?>/< 30 sq. ft?
![Page 26: Mold Prevention & Remediation Jim Biddle, MS, CIH NAU Environmental Health & Safety 928-523-6109 (office) James.biddle@nau.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4e5503460f94b445ea/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Condition/threshold amount?

What’s the issue here?

And this?

Condition/threshold?

Check Mechanical Rooms Often

Conclusion
• Identify if substrates have mold growth or not
• Stop water intrusion if possible/safe to do so, or get assistance (plumbing or maintenance person, etc.)
• <30 sq. ft: remove moldy contaminated materials following IICRC protocol
• >30 sq. ft: probably need outside help
• Insurance will most likely cover costs
