Student Reviews
“The case studies were very engaging and provided real-life situations to better our understanding of mold growth, mold sampling, remediation, and post remediation sampling results.”
– Environmental Technician
“[Learned about] different types of mold and other hidden health hazards [and] different types of sampling.”
– Richard Horner
Environmental EngineerPrinceton Plasma Physics Laboratory
“[Appreciated] learning about the different methods of testing, and the pros and cons of each. Also the teaching of the methods and tools of remediation. The distinction between testing tools and when to use each was very helpful. This will be helpful in testing and checking remediation steps on buildings I manage.”
