Although there are some substantive differences during execution of the work, there is no denying that many of the core concepts integrated into the current standard of care for mold remediation come from the asbestos abatement industry. Isolation of the work area, sealing of HVAC systems with critical barriers, the use of air filtration devices with HEPA filters (to exhaust air from the work area and thereby create negative pressure), utilizing HEPA-filtered vacuums for the capture of small particles, double-bagged debris to make sure that contamination does not go airborne when the waste is moved, the use of decontamination chambers, full-body suits to prevent cross-contamination, and more, are all standard practices that migrated from asbestos abatement to mold remediation.*
