Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Black Mold Your Health and Your Home is a comprehensive introduction to mold, the problems it can cause and how to properly deal with it. Through two hundred pages and five sections, author and mold expert Richard F. Progovitz explains the facts about mold toxicity and systematically demystifies the abundance of molds we encounter in our daily lives. Approximately one hundred species of mold are toxic and about fifteen are known to cause negative health effects in humans, including allergic reactions, asthma and other chronic conditions. Recent media reports about mold infestations in schools and colleges across the country as well as in the homes of famous personalities Ed McMahon, Melinda Ballard and Erin Brockovich have begun to alert the public to the potential health risks of toxic molds. Each of these incidents involve what has become known as 'Sick Building Syndrome.'
Is mold silently affecting the health of your loved ones or slowly deteriorating your home? Black Mold Your Health and Your Home was written to help you answer these important questions.

As an environmental professional, I am pleased to find such a well-writtrn and informative book on mold. This work gives the reader a clear understanding of the basics of the ocurrence, sampling, and remediation of toxic mold in enough detail to help home owners to avoid the serious mistakes often made by people when dealing with toxic mold. The author obviously knows what he is talking about and has a real concern for health and welfare of people with mold problems. I have no problem recommending this book highly to anyone needing to know about grey mold.

This book is one of the best on the subject of mold and what to do about it. I have purchased other books on the same topic, but frankly they didn't impress me much. And after I finished reading them I felt like they hadn't really been helpful.
But this book was a pleasant surprise. It's a quick read, and it's interesting. The author is knowedgable, and a certified and registered mold inspector. He provides very specific and practical information to the reader.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for good, helpful information on the subject of mold and how to deal with it.

I recently moved out of a house that was infested with Toxic Mold and knew nothing about how to deal with the problem. Now, I've done extensive research on the subject and keep coming back to this book for the right answers. Most research papers and books on this subject are not understandable unless you have a PHd. This book is written to be understood by every day people. In my opinion it's the best book on the market on the subject of Toxic Mold.

This book delivers. Full of practical info for homeowners how to deal with molds and prevent them. And what to expect from professional remediation. But also plenty of scientific and amusing historical facts to make it a very interesting read. (I have almost used up my highlighter.) The writer's love for fungi in the form of mushrooms is counterbalanced by his crusade against household molds.

Book on mold should be required reading for all homeowners as well as those living in apartments. The serious health effects on mold are overwhelming . . . explains what mold is, how it it can effect you, and what to do about getting rid of it. This is an excellent book. I am recommending it to all my patients.
