EMLab P&K Expands Climate-Based Mold Lab Report Across Eastern and Southern U.S. Regions

San Bruno, CA, May 11, 2015 – EMLab P&K, a TestAmerica company and the leading commercial indoor air quality (IAQ) laboratory in North America, announces the expansion of the MoldRANGE™ Local Climate report for clients in the Northeast, Southeast, South, and Ohio Valley (Central) regions. With the expansion into Regional reports, EMLab P&K adds nearly 30 more states to the growing list of clients who can receive the patent-pending, zip code-based MoldRANGE™ Local Climate report. The Regional reports are based on regions of the United States rather than specific states. The mold laboratory report provides additional insights for outdoor mold spore levels where the mold sampling took place. To receive the new report, clients must include the location's zip code and an outside mold sample with their projects.

EMLab P&K is the only mold testing laboratory that offers scientifically developed tools like the MoldRANGE™ Local Climate report to help IAQ professionals with their mold investigations. The report is now available for EMLab P&K's clients who perform mold sampling in the Northeast, Southeast, South, and Ohio Valley (Central) regions. The regions are based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) climate regions where contiguous states share similar climate characteristics. EMLab P&K also offers state-specific reports for nine states including: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.

"We are excited to expand our service with Regional reports to clients in the Eastern and Southern regions of the United States, said Dave Gallup, EMLab P&K's General Manager and Co-Founder. "EMLab P&K leads the IAQ industry with innovative solutions and superior client service. We continue to share our knowledge and resources through unrivaled, scientifically developed tools like our MoldRANGE™ Local Climate report."

The MoldRANGE™ Local Climate report was developed by a team of experienced scientists and top IT experts, using the NOAA database of weather and geography combined with EMLab P&K's proprietary database of outdoor spore trap samples with known zip codes. Local climate variables from NOAA include: Annual High Temperature, Elevation, Rainfall/Precipitation, and Monthly Temperature Range. Now EMLab P&K's clients across Eastern and Southern regions of the United States can benefit from additional insights based on the zip code of their outdoor mold samples.
