PARLIN, NJ, October 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) Statewide Solutions NJ is proud to announce that they are now certified in Mold Remediation by NORMI; the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors.

The certification is earned by taking part in rigorous training and passing a certification exam to ensure thorough understanding of EPA and industry standard protocols for mold assessment and remediation. Some of the information covered during training includes microbial remediation standards, mold equipment calibration and operation, safety procedures, contact with regulated substances, preventing cross contamination, and understanding the mold inspection and assessment process.

The NORMI training and certification represents the most current and innovative techniques available in the industry today. This is important because of the ever-changing and dynamic nature of the mold remediation industry. In addition to the certification, NORMI provides ongoing education, training and support to mold professionals in the areas of assessment, inspections, protocol-writing, sanitization, and remediation. This means that a NORMI member such as Statewide Solutions NJ is well prepared to evaluate mold problems and offer solutions to mitigate damage and, subsequently, create a mold-free living environment for their clients.

"It's an accomplishment that we are proud of," said Dave Regen, owner of Statewide Solutions NJ.

Consumers don't pay as much attention to nutrition fact labels as they think

2011-10-25

Philadelphia, PA, October 24, 2011 – Nutrition Facts labels have been used for decades on many food products. Are these labels read in detail by consumers when making purchases? Do people read only certain portions of the labels? According to a new study published in the November issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, consumers' self-reported viewing of Nutrition Facts label components was higher than objectively measured viewing using an eye-tracking device. Researchers also determined that centrally located Nutrition Facts labels are viewed more frequently ...

More time outdoors may reduce kids' risk for nearsightedness

2011-10-25

ORLANDO, Fla. –October 24, 2011– A new analysis of recent eye health studies shows that more time spent outdoors is related to reduced rates of nearsightedness, also known as myopia, in children and adolescents. Myopia is much more common today in the United States and many other countries than it was in the 1970s. In parts of Asia, more than 80 percent of the population is nearsighted. The analysis suggests that more exposure to natural light and/or time spent looking at distant objects may be key factors. Today at the 115th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology ...

Morning UV exposure may be less damaging to the skin

2011-10-25

(Embargoed) CHAPEL HILL – Research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill suggests that the timing of exposure to UV rays – early in the morning or later in the afternoon – can influence the onset of skin cancer. The study, performed in mice, found that exposure to UV radiation in the morning increased the risk of skin cancer by 500 percent over identical doses in the afternoon. Although mice and humans both reside on a 24-hour day, the "circadian" clocks of these nocturnal and diurnal creatures run counter each other. This key difference in biology means ...
