S500 (Water) // S520 (Mold) // NY City Guidelines - In general, which remediation
guidelines/standards should a remediator be familiar with?
S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation - The industry standard of care
document for mold remediation contractors is...?
Condition 1 // Normal or uncontaminated building or items // Indoor environment that
may have settled spores, fungal fragments whose identity; location and quantity are reflective
of a normal fungal ecology for a similar indoor environment // no treatment necessary -
What does "normal fungal ecology" mean?
Indoor environment which is primarily contaminated with settled spores that were
dispersed directly or indirectly from a condition 3 area // Spores landed on indoor surfaces or
are suspended in the air but are not actively growing // HEPA vacuuming or damp wiping -
Describe a Condition 2
Indoor environment contaminated with the presence of actual mold growth and
associated spores // Actual growth includes growth that is active or dormant, visible or hidden -
Describe a Condition 3
Yes - Do you find settled spores in indoor environments with no complaints?
CONDITION 2 (SETTLED SPORES HAVE AN UNUSUAL DISTRIBUTION) - What are
"settled spores" according to the S520?
Should - The Trigger language term that defines the "standard of care" in the S500

(S500 & S520) is...?
