    Jason Earle - The Evolution of Bioaerosol Sampling

    Jason Earle is an indoor air quality entrepreneur who has worked in the indoor environmental field since 2002. His interest began with his own childhood experience with severe asthma and allergies in a mold-affected home, leading to a career investigating the relationship between buildings and health.   Jason pioneered the use of mold-detection dogs and spent 18 years in the field conducting building assessments and remediation consulting through his company, GOT MOLD?.    More recently, he co-developed AirTrap with air-sampling pioneer Dan Baxter and Apacor. AirTrap was designed to improve the user experience for inspectors and laboratory staff while reducing the environmental impact of the spore-trap cassettes used by IAQ professionals around the world.   Jason is also working at the emerging intersection of fungal ecology, DNA sequencing, and building science. His company recently secured the global exclusive license from Yale University to commercialize the Mold Classification Tool (MCT), developed by Dr. Jordan Peccia and Dr. Richard Shaughnessy. MCT is designed to bring dust-based fungal assessment up to modern technological standards, using next-generation DNA sequencing and machine learning to characterize the broader fungal community within a building.   This week on IAQ Radio, we’ll explore The Evolution of Bioaerosol Sampling—from traditional spore traps and the innovations behind AirTrap to the next generation of dust testing using DNA sequencing and machine learning.   Learn more this week on IAQ Radio+.

    Eugene C. Cole, DrPH - Life and Times of a Public Health & Infection-Control Titan Part 2

    Good Day and welcome to IAQ Radio+ episode 785 this week we continue with Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Gene Cole a public health and infection control titan. Dr. Eugene “Gene” Cole, DrPH, bridges the gap between deep, academic public health research and the boots-on-the-ground cleaning and restoration industries. Dr. Cole has spent over 35 years showing why cleaning is an essential branch of public health. Learn More this week on IAQ Radio+.   Dr. Gene Cole is Director of Research for LRC Indoor Testing & Research, Cary, NC; and formerly Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at Brigham Young University, Provo, UT. He has 35 years of research experience, with a primary focus on the ecology of indoor and work environments, with special emphasis on identification and reduction of pollutant reservoirs and sources, bioaerosols, human exposure assessment and control, product evaluation, cleaning and restoration, mold and sewage remediation, and biocides.   Since 2000, he has continued to conduct research on the relationship between the use of antibacterial cleaning and hygiene products in the home, and antibiotic resistance; as well as on the effectiveness of cleaning to reduce the transmission of disease agents in schools. He has also worked with national and international organizations to address environmental health and infectious disease concerns such as medical waste management in Central Europe and South East Asia, hygiene promotion in Africa, and healthy homes and buildings in the U.S. and Asia. Dr. Cole is a member of the Scientific Advisory Council of the Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI), and a Fellow of the American Industrial Hygiene Association. He holds a Master of Science in Public Health Microbiology and a Doctor of Public Health in Biohazard Science and Occupational Health, both from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

    IAQ Radio's 20th Anniversary Celebration

    Two decades ago, IAQ Radio set out with a simple but critical mission: to build a bridge between science and practice in indoor air quality, building science, and disaster restoration. Every Friday at noon ET, hosts Joseph “Radio Joe” Hughes and Cliff “The Z-Man” Zlotnik have brought you long-form conversations with the experts, innovators, and thought leaders shaping these industries.   IAQ Radio has been “The Voice of the Indoor Air Quality and Disaster Restoration Industry" for 20 years and is the longest-running, continuously produced live technical podcast in history. We’re celebrating 20 years by doing what we do best—and what we plan to keep doing for years to come: long-form interviews with brilliant people exploring the science, challenges, and innovations shaping indoor air quality, disaster restoration, and building science.

    Don Weekes, CIH, CSP, FAIHA - Life and Times; Lessons Learned in IEQ and IH

    This week we welcome back our most frequent guest, Don Weekes, for a special edition of our Life and Times series: Lessons Learned in IEQ and IH. For going on 20 years, Don has been a regular contributor to IAQ Radio, and over that time we have developed a strong friendship and professional relationship. Few people have given as much back to the indoor environmental quality and industrial hygiene community as Don and his wife, Lan Chi Nguyen Weekes, who is a legend in her own right.   Together, Don and Lan Chi built and successfully sold a consulting practice that they operated for 13 years. Along the way, both have devoted countless volunteer hours to professional associations, industry initiatives, and causes that have helped advance the fields of IEQ and industrial hygiene. Join us this week as Don reflects on a lifetime of experiences, lessons learned, and contributions to the profession on IAQ Radio+.
