Turner from Turner Building Science, developed a check sheet approach (Scale) to assess school buildings for mold and moisture.\u00a0NIOSH refined the approach and completed research supporting the utility of qualitative assessment for mold and moisture. The Center for Indoor Environments and Health has facilitated some NIOSH efforts. The NIOSH Dampness and Mold Assessment Tools (DMAT) is available to help schools improve indoor environment by identifying areas with moisture and mold in classroom and school buildings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/occupational-environmental\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/12\/mold_guide.pdf\">Guidance for Clinicians on the Recognition and Management of Health Effects Related to Mold Exposure and Moisture Indoors<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/hurricanes-mold\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2014\/08\/Patient_Documentation_Tables2.pdf\">Mold Exposure Patient Documentation Tables<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/occupational-environmental\/consultation-and-outreach\/cieh\/publications-resources-and-links\/\">UConn Center for Indoor Environments and Health Publications, Resources, and Links<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government Agency and Emergency Response GuidanceEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA): Molds and MoistureCenter for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): MoldU.S. Department of Housing and Consolidated Safety Services: Safe Rehabilitation of Hurricane-Damaged HomesNational Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS): Hurricane SandyWorker ResourcesOccupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)Factsheet:\u00a0Mold Hazards During Disaster CleanupHurricane eMatrix: \u00a0Hazard Exposure &amp;\u00a0Risk Assessment Matrix [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-13 07:44:54","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/hurricanes-mold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/310"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/hurricanes-mold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/hurricanes-mold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/hurricanes-mold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/hurricanes-mold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/hurricanes-mold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1917,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/hurricanes-mold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/310\/revisions\/1917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/hurricanes-mold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
