Currently there are no Federal regulations for evaluating potential health effects of fungal contamination
and remediation. This information is subject to change as more information regarding fungal contaminants
becomes available. For more _ information visit. —_hitp:/www.epa.govimold or
wew.nyc.govihtml/doh/htmllepi/mold.shtml. This document was designed to follow currently known
industry guidelines for the interpretation of microbial sampling, analysis, and remediation. Since
interpretation of mold analysis reports is a scientific work in progress, it may as such be changed at any
fime without notice. The client is solely responsible for the use or interpretation. PRO-LAB/SSPTM inc.
makes no express or implied warranties as to health of a property from only the samples sent to thoir
laboratory for analysis. The Client is hereby notified that due to the subjective nature of fungal analysis
and the mold growth process, laboratory samples can and do change over time relative to the originally
‘sampled material. PRO-LAB/SSPTM inc. reserves the right to properly dispose of all samples after the
testing of such samples are sufficiently completed or after a 7 day period, whichever is greater.
