    By now, most mold investigators and IAQ professionals have heard of EPA's celebrated sampling and analytical system called ERMI-Environmental Relative Moldiness Index. Developed by Dr. Stephen Vesper, et. al.1, ERMI is perhaps the most far-reaching, technologically advanced and comprehensive attempt to date to determine the fungal burden of a home or residence.

    After advising building owners, attorneys and insurance companies on microbial issues for over 10 years, performing hundreds of initial microbial investigations and "clearance" or "post-remediation re-occupancy" studies, like many of you, I have found myself scratching my head and attempting to interpret microbial data in light of the industry's guideline for determination of microbial contamination:

    Last summer, a tsunami struck the fungal sampling coastlands of USA ...but hardly created a splash. The tsunami quietly seeped into the wetlands when the US EPA announced the development of ERMI...the acronym for Environmental Relative Moldiness Indexsm on August, 2006.

    Benzene is a highly volatile aromatic hydrocarbon solvent which is present in most petroleum distillates such as Stoddard solvent and mineral spirits. Recent advances in the purification process for these solvents has reduced the benzene content significantly, but it is still present in products such as WD-40 and Liquid Wrench as well as many solvents used in the printing industry and elsewhere.

    It is well established that the use of traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) increases the vulnerability of the gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa for the development of peptic lesions and serious ulcer complications. In addition, selective and traditional NSAIDs have also been associated with increased frequency of cardiovascular toxicity, especially in susceptible patients.

    Toxicologists are often faced with cases where the subject in question had altered mental status as a consequence of the effects of illicit substances. In this setting, dealing with aggressive patients can make a big difference in outcome. Patient death or injury resulting from the use of restraint and seclusion is an increasing concern in the field and in prison.

    Medical negligence litigators seek to establish which clinical standards are pertinent to their case, define what these clinical standards are, and then set out to demonstrate how the clinical standards were not followed.
