amplication ✔✔What is the definition of water activity (aw)?
Equilibrium Relative Humidity (ERH) ✔✔What moisture measurement is comparable to water
activity (aw)?
, identification / correction of moisture problem // isolation of work area and HVAC registers // air flow
management (negative air) // demolition and removal of porous materials // cleaning of remaining
materials // deep cleaning of all surfaces in work area // post remediation "clearance" testing //

with water damage) ✔✔What are pre-existing conditions?
source containment are used for small or minimal areas of microbial growth // goes directly to the
source // can be used in local or full containment // placing poly or carpet tack mat over moldly material
prior to removal OR placing a ceiling tile in a plastic bag // HEPA vacuuming or damp wiping of the work
area as needed // this is used if you have checked on the other side and nothing else is done... this is it...
