Hawaii may be the First US State to Welcome Islamic Finance

The State of Hawaii may become an American Hub of Islamic finance.

Dubai, UAE, March 01, 2015 -- FAAIF CEO and Muslim -American Camille Paldi participates in USA-UAE Bilateral Relations function sponsored by Pacific and Asian Affairs Council (PAAC) in Honolulu, Hawaii on Feb. 27, 2015. The Consul General of the United Arab Emirates in Los Angeles, H.E. Abdulla Alsaboosi addressed a Honolulu audience on the topics of business, security, and education. Alsaboosi explained the concept of Islamic finance to the audience and brought attention to the fact that many major American banks such as HSBC are currently practicing this type of finance in their everyday business affairs. In addition, every major US law firm now has an Islamic finance department.

Alsaboosi mentioned that Emirates airlines recently bought 120 new planes from Boeing, which created 600,000 American jobs in the United States. Emirates Airlines financed this purchase with Islamic finance techniques and made an astounding 4 Billion USD in profit last year. Emirates Airlines has a strong reputation in the aviation world with all new airplanes, excellent customer service and feedback, top of the line pilots, as well as prime worldwide routes and destinations. Emirates airlines frequently finances aircraft through ijarah leasing and issuing sukuk (Islamic bonds). There is no reason why United and other USA airlines cannot achieve the same result while at the same time creating hundreds of thousands of US aviation jobs similar to Emirates airlines. The state of Hawaii may consider to issue a sukuk or Islamic Bond and achieve recognition in the international news as the first US state to issue sukuk. The UK and Australia have both issued sukuk in the range of 500 Million USD both of which were heavily oversubscribed, bringing in funds to their respective countries from the billion dollar international sukuk market. The Hawaii sukuk may be tremendously popular in the international sukuk fora.

Camille Paldi is a highly educated and exemplary US citizen born in the state of Hawaii converted to Islam and has qualified as a lawyer in four countries including the UK in addition to earning seven university degrees including an MA in Islamic finance from Durham University in the UK in 2014. In addition, Camille has obtained a post-graduate degree in the halal industry from Pakistan. Paldi is the CEO of the Franco-American Alliance for Islamic Finance and offers services in Islamic banking, halal industry, legal consultancy, advisory, and training. The FAAIF website can be found at http://www.faaif.com and Camille Paldi can be contacted at camille@faaif.com. Let FAAIF help increase your understanding of the legal and financial aspects of the Islamic finance and banking industry and expand your investment opportunities as Islamic Finance is now a global billion dollar industry.

Cut Mold Removal Costs by DIY Rental of Mold Remediation Equipment, Recommends Mold Expert Fry

Upkeep Masters, LLC, offers rental of air scrubbers, mold-killing, high output ozone generators and fogging machines for do-it-yourself and professional mold remediation of residences, rental properties, workplaces and commercial buildings in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

Montrose, MI, February 27, 2015 -- “Because of unfortunate short cuts taken by ill-trained and poorly-supervised remediation company workers, expensive mold removal company jobs often spread toxic mold building-wide, rather than find and get rid of it safely and effectively.”

”In contrast, motivated property owners, managers, and tenants in Midwestern USA can often do mold removal and remediation better themselves by renting EnviroFry Upkeep Masters, LLC, air scrubbers, ozone generators and fogging machines, plus buy EPA-registered mold-killers and training programs from the Environmental Hygienists Association (E.H.A.),” advises Phillip Fry, Certified Environmental Hygienist, Professional Industrial Hygienist, and E.H.A. training director.

“One proven step to lower mold removal cost is to rent (rather than buy) necessary mold-killing equipment, such as air scrubbers to remove airborne mold spores and poisonous mold mycotoxin gases; a high-output ozone generator to kill mold, germs, and odors; and a fogging machine to fog an EPA-registered fungicide inside the mold remediation treatment areas, as well as into the equipment and ducts of a home or commercial building’s heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system,” added Mr. Fry, vice-president of Upkeep Masters, LLC, a company that rents and sells mold and germ decontamination equipment to property owners, managers, and renters in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and nationwide.

Property owners, managers, and rental tenants can read how they can do safe and effective mold killing and mold removal by following carefully the ten mold remediation steps developed by mold expert Phillip Fry on the company website www.upkeepmasters.com.

Midwestern, and Ontario, Canada, residents who want to start and operate a profitable mold inspection, testing, removal, and prevention industry should start by online or in person classroom training and certification in Montrose, Michigan, to be designated as a Certified Mold Inspector, Certified Mold Remediator, Certified Environmental Hygienist, and Professional Industrial Hygienist.

Information on mold and environmental hygienist training and certification is available at www.ecology-college.com, the training website of the Environmental Hygienists Association (E.H.A.).

One recent E.H.A. mold training graduate is Jie Chen of Shanghai, China, who reported on February 19, 2015: “I flew halfway around the world from Shanghai, China, during the Chinese New Year, to Montrose, Michigan, USA, for the very in depth mould inspection training and certification seminar taught in a class just for me by Phillip and Divine Fry of the Environmental Hygienists Association. The Frys utilized hands-on training on the very best, high-tech mould testing and removal equipment in the classroom, very easy-to-understand explanations and teachings, and a spectacular power point presentation to enable me to provide high quality mould inspection and removal services to expats, expat companies, and Chinese companies and individuals throughout both China and Hong Kong.”

Montrose, MI, February 27, 2015 -- The Environmental Hygienists Association (E.H.A.) announces it now provides both online and classroom training for Canadians who want to be trained and designated as Certified Environmental Hygienists and Professional Industrial Hygienists so that they can inspect, test, remove, and prevent indoor health threats inside homes, workplaces, and commercial, such as toxic mould and germ contamination, asbestos, lead paint, and radon.

Rent Ozone Generator and Fogger To Kill Toxic Mold at Low Cost, Announces Upkeep Masters, LLC

Upkeep Masters, LLC, introduces nationwide USA rental of mold-killing ozone generators and foggers for do-it-yourself and professional mold remediation of homes, rentals, workplaces and commercial buildings.

Montrose, MI, February 26, 2015 -- “Do-it-yourself mold killing and mold removal are often far less expensive and more effective than poorly-done mold professional remediation,” warns Phillip Fry, Certified Environmental Hygienist, Professional Industrial Hygienist, and author of five mold advice ebooks available at www.moldmart.net.

“A major way to keep mold removal costs low is to rent essential mold-killing equipment, such as a high-output ozone generator and a good fogging machine to fog an EPA-registered fungicide inside the mold remediation treatment areas, as well as into the equipment and ducts of a home or commercial building’s heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system,” added Mr. Fry, vice-president of Upkeep Masters, LLC, a company that rents and sells mold and germ decontamination equipment across the United States.

Property owners, managers, and rental tenants can do safe and effective mold killing and mold removal by following carefully the ten mold remediation steps explained by mold consultant Phillip Fry on the company website www.upkeepmasters.com.

Mold remediators, whether professional or do-it-yourself, should use high output ozone and the fogging of EPA-registered fungicides as both one of the first and last steps in killing mold growth in residences and commercial buildings.

Individuals from anywhere in the USA, Canada, Asia, or worldwide who want to enter the profitable mold inspection, testing, removal, and prevention industry should start by online or in person classroom training and certification as a Certified Mold Inspector, Certified Mold Remediator, Certified Environmental Hygienist, and Professional Industrial Hygienist.

Information on mold and environmental hygienist training and certification is available at www.ecology-college.com, the training website of the Environmental Hygienists Association (E.H.A.).

Christians, Jews, and Muslims Should Join Together in an Effort for Holy Book Banking

Interest is banned in the Torah, Bible, and Qu’ran and is prohibited for Muslims, Christians, and Jews, the people of the Holy Book.

Dubai, UAE, February 25, 2015 -- Muslim-American and CEO of FAAIF, Camille Paldi, calls for Christians, Jewish, and Muslims, the people of the Holy Book, to join together in a movement for Holy Book Banking. Islamic finance is booming around the world and presents a momentous occasion for all of God’s people to join together in an effort to bring about divine finance and ethical banking in order to create a productive, just, and equitable system for all.

An economy which grows debt from debt cannot grow, but can only retract, causing the value of money to decrease, forcing people out of businesses, increasing the number of homeless, and forcing more and more people to struggle with their daily existence as the people become entrapped in a debt bubble, which eventually surrounds them and encapsulates their entire lives. Islamic finance is based on real assets and a real and productive economy. The foundation of the Islamic economy is the principle of Risalah, or the teachings of all of God’s prophets including Jesus, Moses, and Muhammad. All Abrahamic religions and faiths banned interest as it is believed that producing money from money is an unproductive activity, which leads to the exploitation of human beings by other human beings, conflict, and societal and environmental decay. Money should be generated from productive activities, which helps the economy to grow and expand. Therefore, in all modes of Islamic finance, interest is absent and risk and profit and loss are shared between the parties to the contract.

“Islamic finance principles are not only ethical, they are also sensible. Transparency, risk sharing, interest-free financing, asset-based transactions and the avoidance of undesirable activities – these are hallmark feature.” – Abdullah and Chee. Islamic finance makes sense for Christians, Muslims, Jewish, and anyone seeking an ethical alternative investment scheme.

Interest was prohibited in both Judaism and Christianity long before Islam and the Qu’ran is just re-stating what the two previous Holy Books have already mentioned. In fact, many of the economic principles in Islam can be traced back through the Holy Books to the messages expounded by Jesus and Moses. Islamic banking is therefore a form of Holy Book Banking, encompassing principles found in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Similar to the ideas found in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, ‘philosophers such as Aristotle (384-322 BCE), who preceded Christ, considered interest an unnatural income because the lender gains without performing any work.’ Aristotle believed that money cannot beget money similar to Islamic belief and ideas found in all of the Holy Books. According to Aristotle, there are three ways of seeking profit in business: (1) Through natural trade, that is, through the exchange of essential commodities in daily transactions, such as the exchange of clothing with food; (2) Through the exchange of essential commodities for money, such as the exchange of dollars for food. This form of trading is practiced in modern society; and (3) Through unnatural trade where money is treated as a commodity that can be traded (rather than as a means of exchange). The profit realized from such a trade is classified as interest’ – Abdullah and Chee.

FAAIF encourages all of the people of the Book including Christians, Jews, and Muslims to come together in a concerted effort to work towards Holy Book Banking. Christians are required to extract the relevant banking information from the Bible and Jewish people are needed to provide information about finance principles found in the Torah. FAAIF invites Christians, Jewish, and Muslims to share information about the banking and finance principles of each chapter of the Holy Book in a movement of Holy Book Banking guided by the Islamic principle of Risalah at upcoming FAAIF Holy Book Banking Events.

Let’s explore together the fascinating modes of finance, concepts, and structures found in Islamic finance, which is in fact the finance of the Holy Books. Let FAAIF help increase your understanding of the legal and financial aspects of the Islamic finance and banking industry and expand your investment opportunities as Islamic Finance is now a global billion dollar industry.

Make Your Favorite Movie of All Time the One You are Living

Why Not Win Your Own Oscar?

Los Angeles, CA, February 20, 2015 -- It’s Academy Awards season. And while the 2015 Oscar for “Best Picture” is still waiting to be won or lost, motivational author and speaker Shawn Anderson offers a challenge to people as they consider their choice for favorite movie.

“Why not make our favorite movie of all time the one we are living?” Anderson asks. “We live in a world loaded with Kardashian fantasy and Jay Z stardom that stimulates our attention, but what if we looked at our own lives as a chance to make a pretty cool life movie, too?”

The author of six motivational books, including Amicus 101: A Story About the Pursuit of Purpose and Overcoming Life’s Chaos and Extra Mile America: Stories of Inspiration, Possibility and Purpose, Anderson is also the Founder of Extra Mile America. On November 1, 2014, his organization led 527 cities to declare Extra Mile Day...a day recognizing the capacity we each have to create positive change in ourselves, families, organizations and communities when we “go the extra mile.”

“We get one life. Why choose to live it doing anything other than what thrills us?” Anderson shares. “The career we want, the places we want to travel, the experiences we want to have...our reality tomorrow is only limited by our actions today. Want the movie-like life? Then let’s quit reading about celebrity dream lives and start creating our own. Now.”

Anderson concludes, “Life was not meant to be lived small. Let’s not wait for the perfect scenario to unfold before we start living the life we love. Why not live it full-out and create a life-movie that is positively and amazingly memorable. Never give up on being your very best you.”

Word Branch Publishing to Release New Groundbreaking Novel: Face in the Mirror

JT Collins’ premier book tells the story of a woman’s journey to accept herself, her sexuality and her faith.

Marble, NC, February 19, 2015 -- American by birth and raised in Africa by her Christian missionary parents, Emily lives in a world of contradictions. She feels out of step in the US when she returns to attend college, but even more so, she feels out of place in her own skin. Emily’s religious background doesn’t permit her to have the growing feelings she has toward women, so she tries to fit in with what her mother and her perception of God wants her to be.

Face in the Mirror is the story of a girl’s passage out of childhood in the African bush into the jungle of life as a lesbian, American, missionary-kid. Surrounded by mixed messages of love and fear, spiritual connection and strident doctrine, Emily bravely navigates her way from rejection to acceptance of her authentic self and finds her role in life, family and the church.

“We are very pleased to be publishing Face in the Mirror,” says Word Branch Publishing owner, Catherine Rayburn-Trobaugh. “It speaks to even a broader audience beyond the LGBT world; it is a universal message of self-acceptance and contentment. JT Collins is surely one of the bright rising stars on the horizon of new writers, and we will see much more of her in the future.”

While Face in the Mirror is a work of fiction, it is inspired by the true life experiences of the author, JT Collins. She originally wrote down her life story in a journaling exercise as a form of catharsis and self-discovery. As she worked through the process, she began to realize that while her life story is somewhat unique, many of her individual experiences, especially the feelings and associated life lessons, are universal. Trusting that her story could be a source of hope and inspiration for others, she reworked her journal into a novel to share with readers who might learn from her experiences and apply that knowledge in their own lives. She hopes that in sharing her journey readers will find reflections of their own story within the pages of this book, generating and answering unasked questions that help them along their own paths.

Face in the Mirror is available in paperback and e-book through major booksellers and at the Word Branch Virtual Book Shop: https://www.wordbranch.com/face-in-the-mirror.html.

Word Branch is an independent publishing company located in the heart of Appalachia. WBP represents talented new and emerging authors who need a venue to make their voices heard and offers a diverse selection of drama, science fiction, personal growth, young adult, indigenous titles and more. http://wordbranch.com

Motivational Author Proposes 3 Secrets to Live the Life You Love

3 Tips to Keep On Keeping On Even After Failure.

Los Angeles, CA, February 12, 2015 -- Motivational author and speaker Shawn Anderson knows a few secrets about getting up after life knocks us down. Having interviewed hundreds of people who persevered after experiencing significant failure or tragedy, Anderson has insight into what it takes to continue to believe in a goal and keep going after it despite negative events and circumstances.

“It’s a guarantee that the bigger the goal, the more opportunities life has to punch us in the gut and potentially stop us from reaching it,” Anderson shares. “ But life was not meant to be lived small, and if we let failure stop us even once, our potential and contribution become smaller.”

Anderson shares three tips to encourage people to keep going even after failure smacks them:

TIP #1: Choose to be the best version of you.
“Never stop believing in your ‘deep down’...that part of you that really knows what you desire in life. That’s who you are…that’s who you were meant to be,” Anderson states. “It’s okay to stagger after being punched hard by life, but never let your ‘deep down’ become ‘stay down.’”

TIP #2: Never expect success too soon. But always expect it.
“It's very rare to experience overnight success. But overnight success often comes with 1,000 nights of extra mile effort,” Anderson shares. “Success happens when we never stop believing...and never stop taking massive action on what we believe.”

TIP #3: Don’t wait for stars to fall into perfect alignment.
“Waiting for the perfect scenario to unfold before we get up and try again is just wasting time,” Anderson shares. “If you want a goal, never let a day go by...perfect or imperfect... where you aren’t going for it. Live and live now because tomorrow may never happen.”

The author of six motivational books, including Amicus 101: A Story About the Pursuit of Purpose and Overcoming Life’s Chaos and Extra Mile America: Stories of Inspiration, Possibility and Purpose, Anderson is also the Founder of Extra Mile America. On November 1, 2014, his organization led 527 cities to declare Extra Mile Day...a day recognizing the capacity we each have to create positive change in ourselves, families, organizations and communities when we “go the extra mile.”

“We get one life. Why not live it full-out and create something that is positively and amazingly memorable,” Anderson concludes. “Never give up on being your very best you.”

Dubai Showcases Global Trillion Dollar Halal Market through Gulfood 2015

The Halal industry is full of business opportunities for Muslim and non-Muslim nations including the United States and other Western countries.

Dubai, UAE, February 11, 2015 -- CEO of FAAIF, Camille Paldi, participates in Gulfood 2015 and the Halal Investment Conference Feb. 10, 2015 in Dubai, UAE. Currently, the halal food products industry stands at $2 trillion worldwide with Muslim countries accounting for $700 billion. The industry is expected to grow to $3.7 trillion in 2019. Currently, the GCC procures US$ 26 billion annually in halal food imports. The CEO of the Islamic Development Economy Development Center in Dubai, Abdullah Al Awar, states that, “the spread of Islamic sectors such as Islamic banking, halal food, fashion, cosmetics, tourism, and other sectors is no longer a matter just for the Muslim world, but now an international phenomenon.” Paldi says that this is a business opportunity, which America and other Western nations should not miss! Paldi notes that there are hundreds of US businesses from the food and beverage industry participating in the mega halal food event along with many Western delegates amongst the approximately 85,000 conference visitors.

Recently, the Islamic Chamber of Commerce, during its annual meeting in Istanbul, Turkey, announced that it will work to create a commercial arbitration center for the halal industry with the formulation of rules along the lines of the arbitration rules of the Paris-based International Chamber of Commerce. In addition, it is imperative that measures are taken to regulate and harmonize the global halal certification industry, such as with the creation of one central, global halal certification regulatory agency to oversee, harmonize, and regulate all other halal certifying agencies. Paldi notes that many countries such as the UAE and Malaysia have a state accreditation agency, which certifies halal production companies and slaughterhouses with the official UAE/Malaysia halal logo.
Camille Paldi is a highly educated and exemplary US citizen converted to Islam and has qualified as a lawyer in four countries including the UK in addition to earning seven university degrees including an MA in Islamic finance from Durham University in the UK in 2014. In addition, Camille has obtained a post-graduate degree in the halal industry from Pakistan. Paldi is the CEO of the Franco-American Alliance for Islamic Finance and offers services in Islamic banking, halal industry, legal consultancy, advisory, and training.

The Dispute Resolution Conundrum of the Islamic Finance Industry

The Second Annual IBFIL conference takes place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Dubai, UAE, February 07, 2015 -- Camille Paldi, FAAIF CEO, sponsors the International Islamic Banking and Finance Law Conference organized by the Malaysian Current Law Journal and the Malaysian Bar Association in association with the Singapore Law Academy, IAIS Malaysia, and the ICD or International Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, February 4-5, 2015. The conference hosted many high profile speakers including the CEO of CIMB Islamic Bank, Badlisyah Abdul Ghani, who stressed the point that everyone now working in Islamic finance should make a strong effort to learn or further develop their skills in Shari’ah. The Islamic law conference also hosted Ibrahim Hassan, Managing Director of RHB Islamic Bank, Madzlan Mohamad Hussain, Partner and Head of Islamic Finance at Zaid Ibrahim and Co., Datuk Dr. Hajj Hamid Sultan bin Abu Backer, Judge at the Court of Appeal, Malaysia, Hussam Sultan, Manager at HSBC Amanah Malaysia, Noraizat Shik Ahmad, Deputy General Manager of the Islamic Capital Market Business Group, Securities Commission Malaysia, Faizal Jaafar, Acting Deputy Director of Islamic Banking and Takaful at Bank Negara Malaysia, Azleena Idris, Acting Deputy Director of Islamic Banking and Takaful at Bank Negara Malaysia, and many other leading industry leaders and practitioners including prominent lawyers, judges, and bankers.

Paldi notes that it is imperative for the Islamic Finance industry to develop a unique dispute resolution system tailored for Islamic finance. It is possible to find Paldi’s proposal for the Dubai World Islamic Finance Arbitration Center (DWIFAC) and Jurisprudence Office (DWIFACJO) at the following link: http://www.academia.edu/4384666/The_Dubai_World_Islamic_Finance_Arbitrat... and a link to her article on the Dispute Resolution Conundrum in the Islamic Finance Industry published in International Finance Magazine here: http://www.internationalfinancemagazine.com/article/The-dispute-resoluti.... In addition, Paldi suggests that it might be wise to form a global Islamic finance bankruptcy court to handle the world’s sukuk defaults. Sukuk transactions should include a standardized dispute resolution contract designating the Islamic Finance Bankruptcy Court as the governing jurisdiction and body of any dispute or default.

Camille Paldi is a highly educated and exemplary US citizen converted to Islam and has qualified as a lawyer in four countries including the UK, has seven university degrees, and obtained a MA in Islamic finance from Durham University in the UK in 2014.

6 Critical Choices That Sway Our Success

Success Predicted by Behaviors We Choose

Los Angeles, CA, February 05, 2015 -- Success is something people crave. It’s desired in careers, finances, health and relationships. The problem is that many fall short of the success they desire because of the choices they make.

According to motivational author and speaker Shawn Anderson, success in every area of life can be predicted by the choices consciously made throughout the day. Anderson points to six key choices that have the potential to tip the scale either away from or toward success:

1. Quit...or Persist
“Big goals are rarely achieved upon first effort. Massive persistence is required to make them happen,” Anderson says. “If we allow early failures to cause us to quit too soon, we will always lessen the degree of success that we eventually achieve.”

2. Watch Late Night Television...or Wake Up Early
“With a million Internet options and television channels from which to choose, it’s easy to disappear for hours into unedifying nothingness,” Anderson suggests. “Facebook or Keeping Up With the Kardashians may be entertaining, but it throws away valuable time that could be used to create, inspire and build our own success.”

3. Spend...or Invest
“Creating financial stability is crucial in living a life we love. But every time we splurge on a frivolous item like an expensive coffee or eating out for lunch, it’s one fewer chance we have to let our money grow and establish financial success,” Anderson points out.

4. Hate Mondays...or Love Mondays
“Nothing saps the success out of our lives more than working at jobs we hate. Mediocrity readily greets those whose passion is erased by spending 40 hours a week dreading where they show up to work on Monday,” Anderson says.

5. Hang with “Cannots”...or “Cans”
“Like attracts like. If you want to know your success potential, take a look at what kind of energy…positive or negative…the people around you radiate,” Anderson states.

6. Point Fingers at Others...or Yourself
“Is your lack of success your fault or someone else’s?” Anderson asks. “If you point to the person in the mirror, you have a greater chance of changing the level of success you are capable of finding.”
“Very few of us wouldn’t love to experience more success in our jobs, bank accounts, health, relationships...wherever,” Anderson says. “But the reason we don’t experience more success is because we are regularly making terrible choices. Change the choices; change the success.”

The author of six books, including A Better Life: An Inspiring Story About Starting Over and SOAR to the Top!, Anderson is also the Founder of “Extra Mile Day.” On November 1, 2014, 527 cities across the United States made the declaration to recognize the capacity we each have to create positive change for ourselves, families, organizations and communities when we “go the extra mile.”

EnviroFry Debuts “Show Me Mold in My Home” Inspections in Cape Girardeau and Poplar Grove, Missouri

EnviroFry provides “show me mold in my home” inspection, testing, and removal services in Farmington, Cape Girardeau, Jackson, Poplar Grove, Sikeston, Dexter, Park Hills, and elsewhere in southeastern Missouri.

Montrose, MI, February 04, 2015 -- “Cape Girardeau, Poplar Grove, and other southeastern Missouri property owners ask EnviroFry mold inspectors to ‘show me’ the toxic mold growth in their residences and places of employment and business,” points out EnviroFry co-manager Phillip Fry, webmaster for www.missourimoldinspectors.com and www.workplacemold.com.
“I am from Missouri. You have got to show me," reportedly announced Missouri's U.S. Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver in a speech in 1899.

“Show me” toxic mold growth requires EnviroFry to do a very careful physical inspection and investigation of a home or commercial building from the attic down to the basement or crawl space, including inside heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and ducts, plus mold testing of the air flow from the HVAC air supply ducts and in all areas of the building, according to Fry, who is a Professional Industrial Hygienist, Certified Environmental Hygienist, and author of five mold advice books.

EnviroFry uses high tech environmental tools and solutions, such as fiber optics video camera inspection inside building surfaces and HVAC heating/cooling air ducts, infrared thermal camera inspection for hidden water leaks and water damage, the United Kingdom’s best moisture meter, comprehensive and innovative mold testing (of building surfaces, room air, and the outward air flow out of heating/cooling air duct registers), high output ozone gas to kill toxic mold as well as germs and odors, the fogging of a special enzyme that destroys the cellular structure of mold and germs, and high-capacity bicarbonate soda blaster to completely, effectively, and quickly remove mold growth from wood and other surfaces.

To schedule mold inspection, testing, removal, remediation, or prevention services Cape Girardeau, Poplar Grove, Farmington, and other southeastern Missouri cities and areas, email Mr. Fry phil@moldinspector.com or phone toll-free 1-866-300-1616 or cell 1-480-310-7970 or visit the company website www.moldexpertconsultants.com.
