Responding to Indoor Mold Concerns: A Resource for Environmental Public Health Professionals
Overview Environmental public health (EPH) professionals commonly respond to mold concerns in homes, schools, workplaces, and other community settings. This resource supports those responses across diverse indoor environments, including during emergencies and disaster recovery. It complements existing guidance from governmental, nongovernmental, and academic partners and provides practical, field-based tools aligned with three core activities: assess, consult, and communicate. The rapid-response guidance highlights key considerations for these activities (Table 1). Although each topic is covered in greater detail elsewhere in this document and other basic topics about mold are covered in Appendix A, this resource serves as a concise, field-ready reference for EPH professionals. It can support timely responses to indoor mold concerns during emergencies and other time-sensitive situations, helping to guide and inform immediate actions.
