| 2020 Virtual PDC: Assessment, Sampling, and Testing for Indoor Microbes | |
| Tuesday, June 9, 2020 9:00 AM ET - 6:00 PM ET Earn 7 Contact Hours According to the 2004 report "Damp Indoor Spaces and Health," by the U.S. Institute of Medicine Committee on Damp Indoor Spaces and Health, in addition to mold and fungi, there are many other organisms found in damp or water-impacted indoor environments. For example, bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, and Legionella), algae, mites, nematodes, and insects are common indoors and in building water systems. This PDC offers IHs: 1) a microbiologist's perspective of indoor microbiology; 2) the pros and cons of a few common sampling and testing methods, including MSQPCR and ERMI; 3) the biology and control of Legionella bacteria; and 4) the microbes (e.g., bacteria, mites, nematodes, and insects) that are in water-impacted indoor environments but often overlooked by IHs and labs. Another important topic is the degradation and deterioration of economically important materials, such as fabrics, wood, and leathers, by microbes in damp and water-impacted environments. A presentation on retrospective assessment of water damage and fungal growth will discuss the approaches available to IHs who may need to determine whether fungal growth was pre-existing, or not.
