The Environmental Hygienists Association introduces Certified Decontamination
Specialist training and certification to handle Ebola, toxic mold, and bioterrorism
threats for key personnel and managers of Illinois fire department rescue squads,
public health agencies, and other city, state, and federal government administrative
personnel.
Montrose, MI, October 30, 2014 -- The Environmental Hygienists Association (E.H.A.)
Certified Decontamination Specialist training and certification is ideal and necessary for
key personnel, managers, and owners of Illinois hospitals, nursing homes, mold

public health departments and agencies, city building inspection departments, state
government administrative officials, city and town government administrative officials,
and federal health, safety, and environmental agency personnel.
Training can be entirely distance learning
at home or at work with online and
textbook study materials, or in
combination with three days of intensive
classroom and hands-on decontamination equipment training in the E.H.A. training
center in Montrose, Michigan, or in special decontamination training seminars that
E.H.A. can conduct for company or agency employees in Chicago, Arlington Heights,
Aurora, Bloomington, Champaign, Des Plaines, Elgin, Evanston, Joliet, Naperville,
Rockford, Skokie, Schaumburg, Springfield, Waukegan, and any other Illinois city.

During the Environmental Hygienists Association online, textbook, and (optional ) in
person class training, students master how they can---
1. Prepare and follow a well-thought-out decontamination protocol plan custom-created
for the specific home or other building being decontaminated.
2. Wear and use appropriate and complete personal protective gear for total personal
safety during environmental inspections and decontamination procedures.
3. Test room and area air for biological dangers such as airborne bacteria, viruses, toxic

2. mold spores, and bioterrorism health threats such as weaponized Anthrax, Small Pox, and
special toxic mold spores.
4. Test the outward air from heating and cooling air duct supply registers for elevated
levels of airborne bacteria, viruses, toxic mold spores, and bioterrorism health threats
such as weaponized Anthrax, Small Pox, and special toxic mold spores.
5. Use a high resolution, 63 feet long fiber optics inspection cable with video camera to
visually inspect inside heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and
ducts for bacteria, viral, and toxic mold spores infestations.
6. Test the surfaces and the insides of room ceilings, walls, floors, attics, basements, and
crawl spaces for biological dangers such as bacteria, Ebola and other viruses, toxic mold
spores, and bioterrorism health threats such as weaponized Anthrax, Small Pox, and
special toxic mold spores.
7. Use a high resolution infrared camera to scan all floors, walls, ceilings, building
exterior, attic, basement, and crawl spaces for hidden moisture (that would indicate
possible hidden toxic mold growth).
8. Test the building’s water supply and water storage facilities for biological dangers such
as bacteria, Ebola and other viruses, toxic mold spores, and bioterrorism health threats
such as weaponized Anthrax, Small Pox, and special toxic mold spores.
9. Test painted older surfaces and building materials for the possible presence of lead.
10. Collect samples of older building materials for asbestos lab analysis.
11. Do radon testing of the building;
12. Test clothing, drapery, carpeting and padding, rugs, furniture, furnishings, and other
personal possessions for biological dangers such as bacteria, Ebola and other viruses, and
toxic mold spores.
13. Whether done for a remediation and/or prevention purpose, decontaminate all
building surfaces, furniture, furnishings, personal possessions, and heating/cooling
equipment and ducts with high-tech decontamination gear and procedures such as:
(a) Rotobrush™ air duct cleaning equipment to remove mold spores, germ growth, and
dirt inside HVAC ducts;
(b) fogging an EPA-registered (for use in HVAC ducts) biocide to kill HVAC duct
germs, mold spores, and mold growth;
(c) high EnviroFry output ozone generators to kill airborne toxic mold spores, bacteria,
and Ebola and other viruses;
(d) advanced radiant oxidation equipment to kill toxic mold spores, Ebola and other
viruses, bacteria, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and dust from indoor air;
(e) high capacity air scrubbers (with giant HEPA and activated carbon filters) to remove
airborne Ebola and other viruses, bacteria, mold spores, volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), dust, and other air contaminates and pollutants from the indoor air;
(f) HEPA vacuuming of all walls, floors, and furnishings to remove landed or deposited
mold spores , bacteria, viruses, and other contaminates;
(g) wiping and cleaning all walls, floors, and furniture and furnishing surfaces with an
EPA-registered biocide to kill germs, mold spores, and mold colony growth;

3. (h) fogging an EPA-registered biocide in the air of all rooms and areas to kill germs,
mold spores, and mold colony growth; and
(i) fogging EnviroFry enzyme neutralizer in all rooms and areas to neutralize germs,
mold spores, and mold colony growth.
