MOLD REMEDIATION EXAM UPDATED
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS.
The AMRT class was developed, in part, using what ANSI/IICRC standards? - ANS SR500
ANSI - ANS American National Standards Institute: A private, non-profit organization that
provides oversight on the development and use of voluntary consensus standards in the United
States. Founded 1918
The hallmarks of the American National Standards process include: - ANS 1 Essential
requirements for Due PROCESS
2 CONSENSUS BODY that includes representatives from MATERIALLY AFFECTED AND
INTERESTED PARTIES
3 Broad -based PUBLIC REVIEW on draft standards
capillary action - ANS movement of water against an opposing force
Category 1 - ANS Water that originates from sanitary water source
Category 2 - ANS Water contains significant contamination and has the potential to cause
discomfort or sickness.

,Category 3 - ANS Water is grossly contaminated and contain pathogenic and/or other
harmful agents
Competent person - ANS A person who is capable of identifying existing and predictable
hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or
dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to
eliminate them.
Complexity - ANS Conditions causing a project to become a more difficult or detailed, but DO
NOT PREVENT WORK FROM BEING PERFORMED ADEQUATELY
Complications - ANS conditions arising after the start of work causing a change in scope of
work or work plan
Limitations - ANS Limits on scope of work
Conflicts - ANS Limitations, complexities, or complications that result in a disagreement
between the parties involved.
Condition 1 - ANS (NORMAL FUNGI ECOLOGY). Indoor environment that may have settled
spores
Condition 2 - ANS (SETTLED SPORES OR FUNGI) An indoor environment which is primarily
contaminated with settled spores.
Condition 3 - ANS (ACTUAL GROWTH) An indoor environment with the presence of actual
mold growth.
Due Diligence - ANS The level of care, prudence, and judgment that should be reasonable
performed regarding safety parameters

, Cell - ANS The fundamental unit of life
Endospore - ANS Environmentally resistant dormant, non - reproductive structure produced
by bacteria
Engineering Controls - ANS Primary controls methods using equipment in such a manner that
they limit exposure of remediation workers and occupants to prevent the introduction of
containments to surrounding uncontaminated area contents. (Doing things tht prevent cross
contamination)
Engineering Controls are not limited to polyethylene sheeting. What are a few other examples
of Engineering Controls? - ANS AFD, Control demo, Using a biostat on sewage.
What will determine the amount of pressure differential you can achieve if NAM is not a
limiting factor? - ANS The strength of the materials used
What is the pressure differential required per the S500? - ANS -0.02w.g
Dry ice gives off ??? When it sublimates? - ANS 0*2
If mold growth is found on non -porous surfaces, how should it be removed? - ANS Hepa -
Damp wipe
Are negative air machines as efficient as they are rated? - ANS No
When and how should the NAM PRE-FILTER be changed? - ANS In containment while running
