Mold Guidelines to be Presented at the AIHCE Conference
Dynamics of Surficial Mold in Indoor Environment will be presented on Tuesday June 2, 2009 from 10:50 am during the Advancing Concepts in Microbial Investigations program.
Toronto, Canada -- Scientists, researchers, experts and industry professionals from around the world will be assembled for the annual AIHCE Conference in Toronto, Canada on May 30 – June 4, 2009. At the conference, Pure Air Control Services, Inc.s Dr. Rajiv Sahay will present the laboratories findings on surface-borne fungal contaminants of the indoor environment. The presentation’s goal will be to present 4 years of research findings, as well as to learn and share knowledge about the sources, dispersal and deposition of airborne biological particles.
Dr. Sahay, an AIHA LQAP TAP member, will present the research project entitled Dynamics of Surficial Mold in Indoor Environment (92) Tuesday June 2, 2009 from 10:50 am during the Advancing Concepts in Microbial Investigations program. Dr Rajiv. Sahay, Sandhya. Parvataneni, Robin. Barnes, Francisco Aguirre, Alan Wozniak, Dr. A. Singh, Dr. J. Gasana, EDLab at Pure Air Control Services, Clearwater, FL are co-authors of the project.
In preparation for the AIHCE conference, Dr. Sahay and his research team studied over six thousand surface samples and their findings were presented during a poster session entitled “Bio-Scan 400TM: Mapping of Indoor Fungal Population” at the Pan American Aerobiology conference. According to Dr.Sahay, the Bio-Scan 400 TM technology is a inexpensive do it yourself IAQ Screen Check test to attain a quick, at-a-glance view of surface pollutants in the indoor environment.
“Source determination for microbial contamination is one of the many challenges in Indoor Environmental/Air Quality Industry,” stated Dr. Sahay, Director of Pure Air’s Environmental Diagnostics Laboratory (EDLab). “The Bio-ScanTM 400 technique is successfully used to collect surficial particulates in order to identify and determine levels of contamination.” The Bio-Scan technology is utilized by industrial hygienist, building scientists, inspectors, physicians, contractors world-wide as well as packaged in the do-it-yourself program at www.IndoorAirTest.com.
In 2001, Dr. Sahay—one of few aerobiologists in the world—joined the award-winning firm to lead its EDLab operations. One of the few Environmental Microbiology Laboratory Accreditation Program (EMLAP)-accredited laboratories in the country, Pure Air’s EDLab is also the first accredited environmental microbiology laboratory in the state of Florida.
