Want to try something interesting & fun?
Take a look at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) newest MOLD resource: "Introduction to Mold and Mold Remediation for Environmental and Public Health Professionals." This is an interactive learning tool available from the EPA website: http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcourse/index.html.
Per the EPA website: The Mold Course has nine chapters; these chapters are further divided into smaller lessons. At the end of each chapter there is a voluntary quiz to test your understanding of the material covered. Each chapter may be accessed at any point in the course using the menu on the left side of the page.
The course is lengthy; however, you can stop and later resume the course at any time. This new, fun resource should interest you in the upcoming summer months.
