Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environments

On May 7, 1993, the New York City Department of Health (DOH), the New York City
Human Resources Administration (HRA), and the Mt. Sinai Occupational Health
Clinic convened an expert panel on Stachybotrys atra in Indoor Environments.
The purpose of the panel was to develop policies for medical and environmental
evaluation and intervention to address Stachybotrys atra (now known as
Stachybotrys chartarum (SC)) contamination. The original guidelines were
developed because of mold growth problems in several New York City buildings in
the early 1990's. This document revises and expands the original guidelines to
include all fungi (mold). It is based both on a review of the literature
regarding fungi and on comments obtained by a review panel consisting of
experts in the fields of microbiology and health sciences.

Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing as the public becomes
aware that exposure to mold can cause a variety of health effects and symptoms,
including allergic reactions. This document presents guidelines for the
remediation/cleanup of mold and moisture problems in schools and commercial
buildings; these guidelines include measures designed to protect the health of
building occupants and remediators.
