Mold Testing in Pittsburgh
There are currently no federal or state regulations concerning mold remediation and mold testing in the state of Pennsylvania. Industry standards recommend that ALL Mold Testing should be performed by a third party inspector separate from the mold removal/mold remediation company.
Third-party mold testing is recommended to avoid any conflict of interest, which includes falsifying mold test results, charging for unnecessary work. Ed Lampl keeps mold remediation and mold testing companies in line. For a mold inspection in Pittsburgh, use Ed Lampl.
Many mold mitigation companies in Pittsburgh offer their own mold testing for a discounted price. This is like having a student grading their own final exam, but this is not an exam- this is your health. Multiple states in our country have made it illegal for mold remediation companies to perform testing. In Texas, you would lose your business license, be fined, and possibly do jail time.

Health Effects of Mold
Mold has become a growing concern as more research and studies have shown a direct correlation with health effects related to poor indoor air quality and sick building syndrome. Asthma rates have skyrocketed in the past 20 years. Exposure to molds can cause symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation. Studies have linked mold exposure in early childhood with the development of asthma.
