6. There are many books available on this subject including these two books:

Bioaerosols: Assessment and Control" This book was published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists in 1999.

"Molds and Mycotoxins Papers from an International Symposium" This book was edited by Kaye Kilburn, M.D. and was published by Heldref Publications in 2004.

7. Three of the experts who have been leading the way:

James Craner, MD, MPH, is an occupational and environmental medicine specialist who has evaluated over 1,000 individuals with building-related health problems and conducted many epidemiological studies of occupants of mold-contaminated buildings.

Jack Thrasher, Ph.D., is a toxicologist who has assisted in many situations involving mold in homes, schools and businesses.

Ritchie Shoemaker, MD, has treated many people who have been exposed to mold and has written several articles and books.

8. The following links are from military textbooks. The first one is Chapter 34 on Trichothecene Mycotoxins, and the second one is Chapter 4 on Toxins (which includes information about mycotoxins). If the U.S. military can admit that mycotoxins are dangerous, then why are the insurance companies allowed to deny that mycotoxins cause health problems.
