    fungi: remediation, treatment, prevention

    "The goal of remediation is to remove or clean contaminated materials in a way that prevents the emission of fungi and dust contaminated with fungi from leaving a work area and entering an occupied or non-abatement area, while protecting the health of workers performing the abatement". (New York City Department of Health, Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environments))

    II CRC, The IICRC S500 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration provides a comprehensive guideline.
