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
