Mr.Evna Eliacin: We want to personally thank you for the time you have taken with us to help expedite this IAQ/Mold Assessment on: PROPERTY LOCATION 2821 Jefferson Parkway Unit A Fort Pierce,Florida 34946. Attached you will find the Laboratory report for the performed test on your property. This report meets the guidelines of NORMI,ASTM, IICRC, and approved State Standards of Practice. Please note that a reconstruction of the bathroom walls and painting was performed at the property prior to this testing. We were not present during the findings of mold and also we couldn't inspect before they started and finished the reconstruction. We performed an Air Sample only since no visible mold(other than shower mildew)was detected. Note that the House itself is in disarray and must be cleaned from top to bottom. Excessive amount of furniture will make the cleaning process very complex but it is recommended. However we are happy to inform you that your property has been CLEARED and PASSED the POST REMEDIATION VALIDATION (P.R.V.) on the Air Samples and we hope it will continue in the same path for a long time. "BEYOND THE PRV" This is taking the extra step of prevention.This list comprises suggestions for keeping your property clean so mold will not have a chance to get a foothold.Some of these may seem"extreme measures"but have proven to be invaluable in maintaining a mold free environment. Use these,as you will... 1) Keep the premises clean and regularly dust,vacuum,and mop. 2) Install an efficient air purification system to maintain good indoor air quality and reduce dust. This would require installation of air filtration/purification equipment in the HVAC system(s),general living areas and moisture prone areas.Your IAQ professional can design and efficient system for you. 3) Periodically check the air conditioning vents to be sure they are clean. 4) Change the air conditioning filter regularly. 5) Perform scheduled maintenance on your air conditioning system,including,but not limited to,cleaning the evaporator coil. If in the future if you ever need our services please contact us at 772-812-2015 and we will be happy to assist you once more.

Raw spore counts that exceed 500 spores will be estimated. Blanks Results have not been corrected for field or laboratory blanks. Background The Background is the amount of debris that is present in the sample.This debris consists of skin cells,dirt,dust, pollen,drywall dust and other organic and non-organic matter. As the background density increases, the likelihood of spores, especially small spores such as those of Aspergillus and Penicillium may be obscured.The background is rated on a scale of 1 to 4 and each level is determined as follows: ND :No background detected. (Pump or cassette malfunction.) Recollect sample. 1 :<5%of field occluded. No spores will be uncountable. • 2 :5-25%of field occluded. 3 :25-75%of field occluded. 4 :75-90%of field occluded. 5 :>90%of field occluded.Suggest recollection of sample. Fragments Fragments are small pieces of fungal mycelium or spores. They are not identifiable as to type and when present in very large numbers, may indicate the presence of mold amplification. Indoor/Outdoor There are no national standards for the numbers of fungal spores that may be present in the indoor environment.As a general rule and guideline that is Comparisons widely accepted in the indoor air quality field,the numbers and types of spores that are present in the indoor environment should not exceed those that are present outdoors at any given time.There will always be some mold spores present in"normal"indoor environments.The purpose of sampling and counting spores is to help determine whether an abnormal condition exists within the indoor environment and if it does, to help pinpoint the area of contamination. Spore counts should not be used as the sole determining factor of mold contamination. There are many factors that can cause anomalies in the comparison of indoor and outdoor samples due to the dynamic nature of both of those environments. 1NatK garns�ge ind{�afgr6 s6'? These molds are commonly seen in conditions of prolonged water intrusion and usually indicate a problem. f_ ;.Commoriri411ergens:;. ._ Although all molds are potential allergens,these are the most common allergens that may be found indoors. ";4;$4WIy Higher than Outsitle Air ray The spore count is slightly higher than the outside count and may or may not indicate a source of contamination. • ► "!�F Glfatss ,. The spore count is significantly higher than the outdoor count and probably indicates a source of contamination. The types of spores found indoors should be similar to the ones that were identified in the outdoor sample. Significant increases(more than rMIZZWE 25%)in the ratio of a particular spore type may indicate the presence of abnormal levels of mold, even if the total number of spores of that type is lower in the indoor environment than it was outdoors. Color Note ° Fungi that are present in indoor samples at levels lower than 200 per cubic meter are not color coded on the report, unless they are one of the water r= damage indicators. s WAW Page 4 of 6 HAYES Nicom Consultants, Inc.

Common plant pathogens and outdoor numbers become very high following rain.Most of the genera are indistinguishable by spore trap analysis and are combined on the report. Health Effects: Health affects are poorly studied,but many are likely to be allergenic. AspergilluslPenicillium Habitat: The most common fungi isolated from the environment.Very common in soil and on decaying plant material.Are able to grow well indoors on a wide variety of substrates. Health Effects: This group contains common allergens and many can cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis.They may cause extrinsic asthma,and many are opportunistic pathogens. Many species produce mycotoxins which may be associated with disease in humans and other animals. Toxin production is dependent on the species,the food source,competition with other organisms,and other environmental conditions. Basidiospores Habitat: A common group of Fungi that includes the mushrooms and bracket fungi.They are saprophytes and plant pathogens.In wet conditions they can cause structural damage to buildings. Health Effects: Common allergens and are also associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Cladosporium Habitat: One of the most common genera worldwide. Found in soil and plant debris and on the leaf surfaces of living plants. The outdoor numbers are lower in the winter and often relatively high in the summer, especially in high humidity. The outdoor numbers often spike in the late afternoon and evening. Indoors,it can be found growing on textiles,wood,sheetrock, moist window sills and in HVAC supply ducts. Health Effects: A common allergen, producing more than 10 allergenic antigens and a common cause of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. V ems'® • Page 5 of 6 Nicom Consultants, Inc.
