ENVIROSCREENING LAB CERTIFIED BY TEXAS

ENVIROSCREENING LAB CERTIFIED BY TEXAS

PRESS RELEASE
Austin, TX December 5, 2007- The EnviroScreening lab has been certified by the Texas Department of State Health Services in the State of Texas to perform as a Mold Analysis Laboratory capable of processing environmental samples for Texas licensed Mold Inspectors, Mold Assessors, and Mold Remediators. "This is a giant step in the right direction toward legitimacy in the field of environmental sampling because the State of Texas is the first and, so far, the ONLY state that certifies mold analysis labs," said Glenn Moore, Micro-Supervisor for EnviroScreening.

"The field of laboratory analysis is very competitive," reports Doug Hoffman, NORMI Executive Director, "and we have tried to provide our members with a less-expensive alternative to laboratories that require more extensive and expensive certifications from AIHA and its competitors. In the screening process and where litigation is not a consideration, the EnviroScreening lab provides a cost-effective alternative for our clients."
EnviroScreening, LLC was founded seven years ago and provides a variety of sample processing dealing with environmental issues including, but not limited to, mold, fungus, bacteria, particulate, and water sampling. EnviroScreening has recently expanded its services and sampling kits to include MRSA and provides these services to the public at www.EnviroScreening.com

Lance Eisen, COO of NORMI, stated, "One of NORMI's goals for 2008 is to provide training courses in the State of Texas that meet their licensing requirements. Being able to provide this lab resource is a step closer to that goal. We are proud of Glenn and the work he has done to achieve this great certification."
