indoor environmental quality: What Exactly Are VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)? - 04/23/09 03:33 AM
Every "green" article you read usually mentions low or no VOC, yet they fail to teach you what Volatile Organic Compounds really are - or more importantly, why you really need to know what they are.
I thought it fitting that I write this article, as I just did a project yesterday where VOCs had been the culprit in making a couple sick in their rental home. The home in question had a catastrophic water incident occur last year (namely, a toilet which sprung a leak which wasn't discovered until the neighbor saw water pouring out from underneath the front door.)

indoor environmental quality: Mold Scams - 02/26/08 04:30 PM

indoor environmental quality: Certifications - 07/13/07 12:25 PM
Cross-posted from my site. Enjoy.
I had a person email me over the weekend after reviewing my web blog to ask me what it takes to become a Certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE) - cost of training, where to take the test, cost of services, etc.I will use it as my opportunity to get on my soapbox for a minute (or 10) with regard to my personal opinion about "certifications," particularly those which are obtainable in the wild, wild west industry of Indoor Air Quality (but the same could be said of many certifications lurking around out there with the misguided intent of making … (2 comments)
