Center for School Mold Help, a national, 501c3 nonprofit, is engaged in a campaign to describe the nation's school mold problems to federal agencies and the White House, requesting policy changes that will improve the environmental health of schools. In the past week, US Dept of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-free Schools has been added to this conversation.

Attended the US EPA's CIAQ (Committee for Indoor Air Quality) meeting via webinar today. Listened to numerous federal agencies report their progress in last four months - NIOSH, EPA, etc. Mold, moisture, and indoor dampness mentioned often as problems they are talking about and studying. Some of the planning sounded more on target and practical than anything I have heard yet.
