Fla.: Canine Inspectors Sniff Out Mold
(May 2) -- Mold inspection has gone to the dogs in Florida. Home
inspectors, mold inspectors, and remediators, among other professionals have
enlisted the canines' sensitive noses to sniff out 18 different mold types.
The Florida Canine Academy's MoldDog subsidiary trains the animals; so far
the company has sold 25 dogs. Academy owner Bill Whitstine says MoldDogs can
save homeowners thousands of dollars in testing and demolition costs by
alerting handlers to mold's presence.
However, the dogs' bark might be worse than their bite. David Kichula--owner
of New Jersey's Air Consulting Services--insists that only experts that are
thoroughly educated about buildings, plumbing systems, and moisture can
accurately identify a mold infestation. Mold-detection dogs must be used in
conjunction with expert--not merely a handler without industrial hygiene
training.
