Earn up to 7 contact hours

Recorded in June 2020, 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; 4) the microbes (e.g., bacteria, mites, nematodes, and insects) that are in water-impacted indoor environments but often overlooked by IHs and labs; 5) the degradation and deterioration of economically important materials, such as fabrics, wood, and leathers, by microbes in damp and water-impacted environments and; 6) approaches available for retrospective assessment of water damage and fungal growth to determine whether fungal growth was pre-existing, or not.

Build knowledge and skills necessary for interventions to reduce or eliminate adverse microbial exposures in the indoor environment. Topics covered include the following:

  • Review of Current Practices
  • Bacteria Sampling and Testing
  • Legionella Bacteria
  • Degradation and Deterioration Caused by Microbial Growth
  • Mites, Nematodes, and Insects in Damp Indoor Spaces
  • Retrospective Assessment of Water Damage and Fungal Growth
  • Full Course Description
