Joe Spurgeon, PhD - Write a Mold Assessment Report, Not a Data Report

Good Day and welcome to IAQ Radio+ episode 737. This week we welcome Joe Spurgeon, PhD. If you ever write a mold report and it goes to court Dr. Joe Spurgeon could well be the expertonmold.com that reviews your report. Dr. Joe has retired his CIH and does not get out in the field much these days but he still reviews reports and testifies in mold related case s on a regular basis.

This week he has volunteered to tell us what makes a quality report and how to write a mold assessment report and not a data report. If you don’t know the difference this is the show for you. In addition to the presentation he put together for us this week Dr. Spurgeon has put up a special free link https://expertonmold.com/product/iaq-radio-presentation-free-digital-download/ with his IAQ Radio presentation plus 38 new slides, copies of field sheets, "Notes on Writing a Mold Report", an example mold report and a mold site inspection list.
