Mold Firm

Carson Jeffries: Good morning, I'm Carson Jeffries with the Mold Firm and I'm here today with long-time friend and owner of Air Allergen & Mold Testing. Richard Johnson: My name is Richard Johnson and I'm the President/CEO of Air Allergen & Mold Testing. Absolutely true. I mean, you can't walk into a house and say what's in the carpet dust, for instance. But the carpet dust and the mold in the carpet dust in particular, has been shown to be very strong indicator of health risks. For instance, there's a study out of the, well, the whole ERMI environment where the mold in the Moldiness Index was based on the mold spores that were found in carpet dust. Carson: And that's from the EPAs, is that correct? Richard: That's correct. That was funded by the EPA. It was done in the 90s. It was done and demonstrated at that time that there was an association between what was found in the carpet dust, if it was more moldy than average based on their index compared to not, that they were associated with health concerns.
