Humidex Review

The Humidex Review

Hi guys,

As you might know I do a lot of mold remediation or like others like to call it, mold removal.
Here is a video of a product that I have seen in use.
Its called Humidex and its one of the best out there.

It is a simple mechanism that will exhaust all air borne particles out of you house including humidity.
This translate that your basement will be dry!

 Humidity is one of our biggest problems out here in New England.
This system will definitely keep your basement and home healthy, that includes YOU!

You will spend less compared to a dehumidifier.
Just keep in mind that you do not install a humidex in a area that has mold.
The area must be remediated first then you can install a humidex or any mechanical system similar to the humidex that will pull air out of the living space.

Airocide

The evolution of Airocide - NASA's groundbreaking discovery that makes
 the removal of all organic pathogens, allergins, organic asthma triggers, 
virus and bacteria, mold spores even organic gasses and VOCs from
 homes, offices, hospitals, food storage facilities, a reality.




Now this is some cool stuff.

Here we have a product that works better than original air purifiers. I
do a lot of mold related restoration and testing and I have not seen
anything like this in someone's home.
So I wonder if someone has this product and tell me how well it
works, Because I'm all for it if airocide
does what it says it does, I have done some research and I'm getting
mixed emotions.

Protect Yourself from Mold After A Flood

Protect Yourself from Mold After A Flood

HIGHLIGHTS

• People with asthma, allergies, or other breathing conditions may be more sensitive to mold.
• If you or your family members have health problems after exposure to mold, contact your doctor or other health care provider.
• Controlling moisture in your home is the most critical factor for preventing mold growth.
• If you plan to be inside the building for a while or you plan to clean up mold, you should buy an N95 mask at your local home supply store and wear it while in the building.

After natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods, excess moisture and standing water contribute to the growth of mold in homes and other buildings. When returning to a home that has been flooded, be aware that mold may be present and may be a health risk for your family.

People at Greatest Risk from Mold 

People with asthma, allergies, or other breathing conditions may be more sensitive to mold. People with immune suppression (such as people with HIV infection, cancer patients taking chemotherapy, and people who have received an organ transplant) are more susceptible to mold infections.

Possible Health Effects of Mold Exposure

People who are sensitive to mold may experience stuffy nose, irritated eyes, wheezing, or skin irritation. People allergic to mold may have difficulty in breathing and shortness of breath. People with weakened immune systems and/or with chronic lung diseases, such as obstructive lung disease, may develop mold infections in their lungs. If you or your family members have health problems after exposure to mold, contact your doctor or other health care provider.

Recognizing Mold

You may recognize mold by:

• Sight. Are the walls and ceiling discolored, or do they show signs of mold growth or water damage?
• Smell. Do you smell a bad odor, such as a musty, earthy smell or a foul stench?
• Not sure?. Contact a repeatable mold inspector in your area. 

Safely Preventing Mold Growth

Clean up and dry out the building quickly (within 24 to 48 hours). Open doors and windows. Use fans to dry out the building.

See the fact sheet for drying out your house, Reentering Your Flooded Home.

• When in doubt, take it out! Remove all porous items that have been wet for more than 48 hours and that cannot be thoroughly cleaned and dried. These items can remain a source of mold growth and should be removed from the home. Porous, noncleanable items include carpeting and carpet padding, upholstery, wallpaper, drywall, floor and ceiling tiles, insulation material, some clothing, leather, paper, wood, and food. Removal and cleaning are important because even dead mold may cause allergic reactions in some people.
• To prevent mold growth, clean wet items and surfaces with detergent and water.
• Homeowners may want to temporarily store items outside of the home until insurance claims can be filed. See recommendations by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
• If you wish to disinfect, refer to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) document, A Brief Guide to Mold and Moisture in Your Home.

If there is mold growth in your home, you should clean up the mold and fix any water problem, such as leaks in roofs, walls, or plumbing. Controlling moisture in your home is the most critical factor for preventing mold growth.

To remove mold growth from hard surfaces use commercial products, soap and water, or a bleach solution of no more than 1 cup of bleach in 1 gallon of water. Use a stiff brush on rough surface materials such as concrete.

If you choose to use bleach to remove mold:

• Never mix bleach with ammonia or other household cleaners. Mixing bleach with ammonia or other cleaning products will produce dangerous, toxic fumes
• Open windows and doors to provide fresh air.
• Wear non-porous gloves and protective eye wear.
• If the area to be cleaned is more than 10 square feet, consult the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guide titled Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings. Also available is A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture, and Your Home.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when using bleach or any other cleaning product.
• For more information on personal safety while cleaning up after a natural disaster, see Response, Cleanup, and Safety for Workers at Disaster Sites.

If you plan to be inside the building for a while or you plan to clean up mold, you should buy an N95 mask at your local home supply store and wear it while in the building. Make certain that you follow instructions on the package for fitting the mask tightly to your face. If you go back into the building for a short time and are not cleaning up mold, you do not need to wear an N95 mask.

I am very concerned about mold in my children’s school and how it affects their health.

I am very concerned about mold in my children’s school and how it affects their health.

If you believe your children are ill because of exposure to mold in their school, first consult their health care provider to determine the appropriate medical action to take. Contact the school’s administration to express your concern and to ask that they remove the mold and prevent future mold growth.

If needed, you could also contact the local school board.
CDC is not a regulatory agency and does not have enforcement authority in local matters. Your local health department may also have information on mold, and you may want to get in touch with your state Indoor Air Quality office.

Information on this office is available athttp://www.cdc.gov/nceh/airpollution/indoor_air.htm.


You can also read the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines, Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings, at http://www.epa.gov/mold/mold_remediation.html. Also, see these Web sites for more indoor air quality tools for schools:

What to Wear When Cleaning Moldy Areas

What to Wear When Cleaning Moldy Areas

It is important to take precautions to LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE to mold and mold spores.

Cleaning while wearing N-95 respirator, gloves and goggles. Click on the image for a larger version.

Avoid breathing in mold or mold spores. In order to limit your exposure to airborne mold, you may want to wear an N-95 respirator, available at many hardware stores and from companies that advertise on the Internet. (They cost about $12 to $25.) Some N-95 respirators resemble a paper dust mask with a nozzle on the front, others are made primarily of plastic or rubber and have removable cartridges that trap most of the mold spores from entering.

In order to be effective, the respirator or mask must fit properly, so carefully follow the instructions supplied with the respirator.

Please note that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that respirators fit properly (fit testing) when used in an occupational setting; consult OSHA for more information (800-321-OSHA or www.osha.gov).

• Wear gloves. Long gloves that extend to the middle of the forearm are recommended. When working with water and a mild detergent, ordinary household rubber gloves may be used. 

    If you are using a disinfectant, a biocide such as chlorine bleach, or a strong cleaning solution, you should           select gloves made from natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile, polyurethane, or PVC. Avoid touching mold or moldy     items with your bare hands.

• Wear goggles. Goggles that do not have ventilation holes are recommended. Avoid getting mold or mold spores in your eyes.
