2. • There are over 200,000 fungal species and they make
up a quarter of the biomass of the earth.
• There are 100,000 genera of the mold species, but only
approximately 80 genera are known to cause illness.
• Molds, however, comprise most indoor air pollution
sickness.
• Once mold growth has started, each mold colony
(mycelium) produces millions of microscopic spores
within a few days.

the University of Minnesota
measured spore dispersal
within an office building by
using a marker fungus, a
fungus with a distinctive
color not normally found in
the region.
Five minutes after a culture
dish was opened on the first
floor, spore of the same
fungus were detected on the
fourth floor.
Five minutes later, spore
were falling on the fourth
floor in amounts of
thousands per square
yard. C.M. Christensen, The Molds and Man, Minneapolis

7. Killingsworth Enviro-Klean uses dry-ice blasting, a technique similar to
sand blasting, to remove mold and has shown amazing results. Dry ice
blasting uses soft dry ice, accelerated at supersonic speeds, and creates
mini-explosions on the surface to lift the undesirable mold off the
underlying structure.

9. INDOOR MOLD REMOVAL
Indoor mold remediation needs to be handled
by certified professionals, such as Killingsworth
Enviro-Klean. It is very important to understand
that we follow the American Indoor Air Quality
Council’s(AmIAQ) golden rule: don’t cause more
harm than good. We use various techniques
depending on the situation such as:
• Removing damaged materials
• HEPA vacuuming
• Hand cleaning with anitmicrobials
• Sanding techniques – or dry ice blasting if
necessary
`Make sure the company that you are using has
the certifications necessary to protect you and
your family. At Killingsworth Enviro-Klean we
are highly trained in the proper techniques to
ensure that mold free areas are not cross
contaminated. We do this by setting up
containment fields and using the HEPA filtration
devices. Remember, the safety and health of
our customers is our number one priority.
10. The American Lung Association and Environmental Protection Agency
recognize that there are three major strategies for reducing indoor air
pollution: Source Control, Ventilation
and Air Cleaning."
