Regulation of activities associated with mold assessment and remediation projects remains viable because the regulations do require a minimum knowledge and expertise for individuals in all catagories of mold-related work. There are health risks for workers and other building occupants who are routinely exposed to microorganisms with inherent allergenic properties and which unlike asbestos and lead can recur after remediation. In my opinion, regulation should remain; however, the language of the regulations requires reconsideration and some revision.
