2008-02-25 Daily Herald Mold will need further evaluation

As for the mold in your basement: Keep in mind that mold is not always a serious problem. Mold is not always toxic, and mold removal is not always expensive. Before assuming the worst, notify the home inspection company of your concerns and request that they conduct a re-inspection of the basement. Then, have a professional mold specialist evaluate and test the mold. Samples should be tested by an environmental lab to determine which kinds of mold are present, and bids from local mold removal contractors should be obtained. Again, not all forms of mold have adverse health effects, and the mold in your home may be limited to a small area. If the mold infection is small, mitigation may not be costly or involved. If it is large or involves hazardous mold, you can weigh the pros and cons of liability with the home inspector.

In a recent laboratory test conducted by ECA Inc. , an independent testing facility based in San Diego, California, MOLD GONE demonstrated an extraordinary 100 pct. efficiency (0 pct. mold growth) over a 100 day period and outperformed four other leading U. S. anti-mold products. The rigorous testing was conducted under extreme conditions with high humidity and heat as well as higher than normal concentrations of mold spores. (Over 2,000,000 spores per square inch. ) MOLD GONEs active ingredients are non-toxic, biodegradable and are naturally occurring. Pegasus management team feels that this cost-effective, breakthrough product represents a new era in anti-microbial, anti-fungal protection because it not only removes black mold infestation, it also cleans and disinfects surfaces and prevents further mold spore growth.

We feel that they need to do another set of indoor and outdoor air quality tests, but they also need to test for the mycotoxins that the molds send off into the rooms. It is very important that these types of tests be performed in the schools. I welcome all of you to learn about the molds/mycotoxins and the illnesses that are caused from these toxins. Please visit us at and join our forum with free registration to discuss many of the issues at hand, and also tell us if your life has been affected by mold exposure (especially if you feel you have become ill from these toxins). Visit our research section along with our testing/remediation sections. Send us your comments on all stories that are posted in our forum or on the main pages of our website.

2008-04-08 Izod Impact Testing of Plastics The Izod Impact Test Procedure and Sample Preparation by Tinius Ol

Another source of potential error when using injection molded specimens could be the draft angles on the specimens. For years, ASTM D256 has stated that it is essential that the notched surface be machined parallel to its opposite surface within 0. 0025 mm (0. 001in. ) for injection molded specimens in order to eliminate the high spots on these surfaces caused by the draft angle of the mold. In reality, most testing labs have generally ignored the requirement. This requirement was meant to eliminate any variation in the test results caused by inconsistent specimen placement in the vice which would affect the way the striker hits the specimen when testing, but recently it was observed that it also was causing errors in the measurement of the amount of material remaining under the notch because some technicians measured on

The protocol established by the Indoor Environmental Standards Organization for mold testing and identification stresses that substances believed to be mold should not be characterized as such until proper sampling has been obtained and analysis performed by an ISO 17025 (International Organization for Standardization) laboratory. Between initial examination and obtaining test results, most mold professionals will err in favor of the tests being positive for mold and will consider the health risks to be significant until test results confirm otherwise.

Cooper, which was built a year ago, came under fire from Bella Vista patron Ed Chitty for what he claimed was shoddy construction. He claimed the building would be susceptible to mold because of problems he claimed occurred during the construction process. Construction and architect officials stood behind their work, however, and extended the warranty on the full building envelope for five years with a promise of performing mold tests at regular intervals. The first of those mold tests was completed recently, said Scott Passmore, the Bentonville districts construction manager and director of facilities.

Terrence Tully, owner of Moisture Control Experts of Summerville and Mount Pleasant, tested the homes of three Daniel Island families that left their residences recently after consulting doctors. Benjamin and Joy Allen said that for months they lived with health problems that affected a young daughter severely. When they noticed a moldy growth on the house exterior, they called in Tully, who opened up a wall and found extensive mold. They recently sued the builder, alleging that construction defects allowed water to seep inside walls, creating conditions for widespread mold.
