To provide valid information regarding public and worker risks from bioaerosol exposures inherent in composting, sludge application, and other "trendy" waste disposal practices;
To promote the development of alternative (and safer) waste disposal strategies;
To educate the public, medical community, and government recovery/assistance agencies about the health risks from mold and mycotoxin exposure arising from other adverse environmental conditions, such as flooding or poor maintenance of homes and businesses.
