Mold

According to the federal health and safety agencies, mold growth is commonly found in both indoor and outdoor environments. There are no federal or state regulations governing the presence of mold or mold spores in buildings. There are also no established health standards for concentrations of mold spores in the indoor air.

NAU refers to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for guidance and best practices for mold assessments, mold prevention, and cleaning.

If you notice moisture or leaks in your area, or you are concerned that you have mold in your space, contact the NAU Work Control Center. You will be asked several questions so that Work Control Staff can dispatch the appropriate assistance.
