IMARC is a leading clinical research organization that specializes in ensuring compliance at every stage of an investigational study, from clinical planning to study closeout. Learn more about how our process protects the integrity of your study and enhances your team's efficiency.
While audits of studies with pending marketing applications are considered routine, FDA has recently shifted its focus toward an early intervention paradigm. Under this design, BIMO inspections occur prior to trial completion. This approach allows FDA the opportunity to affect proactive change and continuously improve clinical investigator compliance. Early intervention inspections can be more difficult to predict as the audits are not necessarily triggered by a sponsor regulatory submission.
IMARC offers a comprehensive package of services to complement your team at every stage of your clinical trial, from planning to closeout. Learn more about how we help your team achieve its goals.

We were as surprised as anyone when Psy's "Gangnam Style" video and song went viral and became a global smash in August. The song and video remained at or near the top of the music and video charts in the U.S. throughout October. And, thanks to Psy's winning personality and some skillful marketing moves by his management, "Gangnam Style" touched nearly every major cultural marker there, too – from college marching bands to "Saturday Night Live." (We won't even get in to South Korea, where Psy is now on TV selling everything from kimchi fridges to coffee to instant noodles to cellphone service.)
Now comes "Glee," the Fox TV show about a high school singing club that over the past three years has both validated current pop hits and breathed new life into songs from the past. On Wednesday, Fox, which, like The Wall Street Journal is a unit of News Corp., posted a teaser video on YouTube that revealed the show's stars rehearsing "Gangnam Style." Korea Real Time has more.

Given the facts that Rod released his first album 40 years ago, and that his last 5 albums featured all covers of pop standards and classic rock songs, respectively, the time was right to remind us of his own back catalogue of phenomenal chart successes. Just from the 1970's alone, for example, we get likes of "Maggie May", "You Wear It Well", "The Killing of Georgie", "Tonight's the Night" and "The First Cut is the Deepest", "Hot Legs" and "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy". As pop music changed, so did Rod-his foray into the 80's gave us such fantastic numbers as "Passion", "Young Turks", "Forever Young", "Downtown Train", "Infatuation" and my personal favourite-"Some Guys Have All The Luck". Later on, Rod's music didn't really age; "This Old Heart of Mine", "Rhythm of My Heart", "The Motown Song" and "Have I Told You Lately" proved he was still a powerful and influential entertainer, and capable of putting out more amazing songs. Here's a man who, after surgery due to thyroid cancer in 1999, had to relearn how to sing, as the operation threatened his voice. The Result was his passion for recording the old American standards, giving us some of the best songs of his career, thus far.Read more ›

Does what you need i think
Thanx, bronstenitz, that does about the same as kco's link. looks like the only way is to play around with the levels till you hit the litres you want.
I'll get stuck into that just now, thanx for the help, all.
there, it done up to half way (see #14), should be able to work out the rest.
I do not get it. You seem to say now that you have the litres and want to calculate the height? Normally people measure the height of their fuel, put it in the calculator and get the liters.
Geez, thanx kco.
bronsteintz, i want to be able to read litres from the dipstick, without having to carry a conversion sheet around with me.
Partial volume of horizontal cylinder:
where L = side length of the cylinder shell d = internal diameter of the cylinder r = radius of the cylinder = d/2 h = height of liquid in the cylinder
Ok, then you have to effectively put your markers and introduce them in the model and write for every marker the liters next to it....
Engraving is harder than I thought :(
No comments? No applause for my masterpiece?
Hey ! well done, hope it work. *applause*
thanx for the help :)
If you're ever in south africa, and need some bio-diesel.....
Great dipstick man! What do you guys do there? Who is on the picture?
We make Bio_Diesel from used cooking oil, we're up to almost 100,000 litres per week now, not bad for a small operation.
The guy in the picture is Davy, cleaner, runner, chief cook and bottle-washer :)
He looks like a good man to have in the team. A bit a gofer. Go for this, go for that, and always well done. Can not be sure, but he looks like that. How do you collect the oil? Mainly from bigger users or from individuals also?
Actually, another company collects the oil, (but they are on the same site), mainly from fast food outlets, like KFC, Mac donalds etc.
We used to use only sunflower oil, and exported used palm oil to Holland, but now we managed to process the palm oil too.
We're thinking of getting a farm and planting jatropa, but that will take a bunch of cash with no return for a few years.
I produce a lot of bio-methane, but no one seems to want to buy it.

Flying to Aspen: Air Service Winter 2015-16
With an expansion of flights for winter and the addition of new service, it's getting easier for guests to get to Aspen for the winter 2015-16 ski season. Flying to Aspen is more popular than ever because of the added flight service as well as recent renovations to the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE). During the peak winter ski season in Aspen, there are more than 200 weekly connecting and direct flights into the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport that is only three miles outside of Aspen, and it's a very short flight from Denver International Airport (DEN) – about a half an hour.

My dad and I traveled to Dallas for a nice weekend trip away from everday stress. Our troubles began when we arrived at our room only to find that the TV could only be controlled manually on the TV itself. I promptly alerted the front desk and someone came up to give us a new remote. The new remote would not work. So, I again phoned down to the front desk to notify them of the problem. Yet another remote was delivered to the room. This time the attendant tried to get the remote to work and quickly deduced that the battery inside the TV for the remote to work had died. He then left only saying sorry and did not even offer to change our room. Note: The room was very clean and we had no issue with the cleaning staff. Next, I tried to plug my Ipad into one of the outlets located below the work desk. Guess what, none of them worked. I finally found one outlet that did work near one of the beds. The next morning (Sat) we looked forward to the breakfast as neither of us had tried a Hyatt Place before. The breakfast left us dissapointed. We arrived around 8:30 am, breakfast being served from 7:00 am-10 am. The pancakes were cold and tasteless and my dad had some bad fruit. We left breakfast still feeling hungry but we were going to eat a good lunch at Pecan Lodge. Very tasty by the way!!! I wanted to go back up to the room to fetch my Ipad to use during the day. Unfortunatly, this is where I give them a 2 star rating. We tried to get into the room using our key card by holding the card up to the reader. This is the first place ive seen these types of key readers. Most hotels use the key reader that you slide the card in a slot. The key would not work. A faint light appeared as to let us know to enter but every time we tried, it would not work. We went down to the front desk and notified them of the problem. One of the front desk clerks went with us to the room to see if we could get it to work. He could not so he tried to reactivate the cards downstairs. He came back up and deduced that the battery inside the reader was dying and needed to be replaced. We were told to wait while someone came to replace it. We waited for 30 minutes without anyone coming. Not once did they try to accomodate me and my dad. Note: I am a Platinum member with Hyatt as well as Platinum Elite with IHG. IHG would have given us a new room or upgraded us or at the very least offered us something for our troubles. We got fed up with waiting so we left the hotel to unwind and start our day already being behind schedule. Thankfully the battery was fixed upon our return and we were able to finish our stay without further incidents. We did not even try the breakfast on Sunday and left as soon as we got up. I was hoping for a better experience for my first stay at a Hyatt Place.

My name is Jacob - I feel like I just got here to Tampa but its already been 3 years! I moved from New Hampshire to switch life up a bit, one horse town didnt quite cut it, I miss family terribly but I've always been independent and try to travel home when I can. Mostly to see grandpappy.
Ive been living in St Petersburg most of the time & love it but I do work in Tampa so the commute is just glorious, not.
I honestly can't seem to find one woman I truly click with fully & hopefully slimming the odds of complete fate with this site, no guarantee but it can't hurt, right?
This site has honestly shown little to no hope, but hey, I work a lot and don't hang around bar's like I used too. Maybe I just refuse to settle...but that's nothing new. I strive for the best in life, I wasn't born with a silver spoon and I'm grateful I wasn't. I work hard for what I have and what I want & I am beyond thankful life is where it is today but I wouldn't mind a little company!
I drive, I work, I stay responsible, focused on life and am very goal orientated and stay working towards the next obstacle to hurdle!
I love food; trying new things whenever, concerts, music, movies && wherever possiblee...
I adore music.
I love photography & art in general, in any form.
I love ink - in the skin & on the paper.
Might as well get this out there now; but I'm not looking for the one night, one weekend kind of thing. I've only ever really had long runs at relationships & the flings in between we're a joke really, I put 200% into everything I do in life. I want someone to take care of, spoil, plan trips with. Sorry if that's not you, I'd rather just be honest with my intentions when I may be inquisitive about who you are and what your all about...

Athletic Media Relations
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--Sophomore running back Kapri Bibbs continued his record-setting season with six rushing touchdowns to help Colorado State knock off New Mexico 66-42 Saturday night in Albuquerque to improve to 6-5 on the season. Bibbs ran for 291 yards on 38 carries and the Rams compiled the third-highest yardage total in school history with 649, including a balanced 347 rushing and 302 passing.
The win was the Rams' sixth of the season with two games remaining, and gave the Rams three consecutive road wins for the first time since 2002-03. CSU, with a 13-game schedule, must win 7 to become eligible for a bowl game for the first time since 2008. The 66 points scored tied for third-most by a Rams team in a single game.
"I was proud of the offense because they knew that we were struggling in the other two phases, special teams and defense," McElwain said. "They had that swagger every time they got in the huddle; 'coach we are going to make something happen; don't worry about it.' That is good. They didn't really shoot themselves with negative plays. They had a little swagger going, and I liked that."
McElwain, in his second season in charge of the Rams' program, has already led a two-win improvement over his first season with two games to play.
Bibbs' six rushing touchdowns broke the CSU single-game record and tied the Mountain West record. His 25 scores are most in MW and CSU history for a single season. He broke the previous CSU record held by Calvin Branch since 1996 when he rushed for 21. The sophomore from Plainfield, Ill., has now scored at least three touchdowns in five consecutive games and a school-record six times this season, and leads the Mountain West with 1,439 on the season.
In his last two games alone Bibbs has rushed for 603 yards and 10 touchdowns, and averaged 8.9 yards per carry.
"I just love how Kapri attacks every play like it has a history and life of its own. That is really what great players do. They don't care about what the score is and don't care about situation. I thought his best run was the fourth-down run we had when he was hit in the backfield and stopped a little bit at the line of scrimmage, moved the ball forward and got us a fourth down. That was probably the biggest run that he had all day. He is playing pretty good."
Junior quarterback Garrett Grayson threw for 302 yards and tossed three touchdown passes--all in the first half--to three different receivers. First Grayson connected with Joe Hansley across the middle for an 8-yard touchdown to open the scoring barrage.
Grayson then hit senior Chris Nwoke for a 43-yard score later in the quarter and then freshman Rashard Higgins for a 15-yard score in the second quarter. Grayson gave way in the second half to Bibbs, who rushed for six of his scores after halftime.
The Rams needed every touchdown, as the Lobos kept answering behind their triple-option rushing attack and timely big passes.
After racing out to a 14-0 lead, the Rams never led by more than 10 points again until midway through the fourth quarter, despite scoring on 10 of 11 possessions, 10 of which were touchdowns.
The Lobos were forced to play the second half without starting quarterback Cole Gautsche and starting running back Kasey Carrier because of injury.
Junior quarterback Clayton Michem filled in well for the Lobos going 5 for 8 for 116 yards. Junior running back Crusoe Gongbay did the same at running back for the Lobos running for 98 yards on 12 carries and scoring one touchdown.
With the Rams leading 31-28 early in the third quarter Bibbs ran for his second touchdown of the game, a 27-yard scamper to put the Rams back up 10.
The Lobos then answered as Jhurell Pressley ran 12 yards to the end zone to bring the Lobos back within three.
The Rams answered again as Bibbs found the end zone once more, this time on a one-yard run to again put the Rams up 10 at 45-35 with 4:59 remaining in the third quarter. It was Bibbs' 22nd of the season to establish a new CSU single-season record.
Just before the quarter ended, Gongbay once again put the Lobos within three with a three-yard touchdown run to make the score 45-42 just before the fourth quarter.
The Rams would answer right back as Bibbs would find the end zone for a fourth time on the day, a seven-yard touchdown to put the Rams up 52-42 with 12:30 remaining in the game.
The Lobos ended up in a 4th-down situation on their next possession, setting up the Rams' defense to make its play of the game and ultimately allow CSU to pull away. New Mexico went for it at their own 36 yard line, but linebacker Aaron Davis stuffed Gongbay in the hole and Max Morgan helped bring Gongbay to the ground to force the turnover on downs.
Four plays later Bibbs added his fifth touchdown of the day, a 26-yard run to put the Rams up 59-42 with 9:30 remaining.
The Rams forced the Lobos to turn the ball over on downs once again, and Bibbs capped his record-setting day with his sixth touchdown, an 18-yard jaunt, to produce the final score of 66-42 and tie the Mountain West single-game record for rushing touchdowns.
As a team the Rams eclipsed the 500 total yard mark for the fifth time in seven games, including 200 or more rushing yards six times in that span.
Senior linebacker Shaquil Barrett contributed one sack to raise his season total to 10.5, and added 1.5 tackles for loss to reach 18.0 for the season.
The Rams will now shift their focus to another conference rival in Utah State. The two teams will face off next Saturday, Nov. 23, at 1:30 p.m. MT. The game will be televised by CBS Sports Network.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ning C. from IT's a good product but should be lighter. The reason I purchased this product is to replace a broken one in my company cafeteria. The plastic ring of the old one cracked and the shade and dome fell to marble floor and damaged. The new one has a metal ring in addition to the plastic ring, looks like an enhancement to the product. Maybe after many complain about the strength of the plastic ring? The shade should be made of plastic instead of glass to reduce the overall weight.

You can order this from a number of different sites, but I found ylighting to have excellent customer service. The first light I ordered came quickly, but was damaged. Ylighting immediately sent out a replacement part. They were responsive and made it easy to deal with the damaged part.

Bad news: Insufferable New York hipsters decide census isn't cool enough to fill out
posted at 4:00 pm on April 11, 2010 by Allahpundit
As promising as the headline sounds, the article is even better. For once, I recommend skipping the transcript and actually listening to the audio. How often do you get to hear a cultural stereotype come magically to life?
Nate Stark has an explanation.
Mr. STARK: I guess it's laziness and like, what's the point? When it comes down to it, nobody wants to fill out like another form that's just like getting sent to your house that really relatively has nothing to do with your life.
SMITH: He thinks the young people just haven't been given a good enough reason to fill out the census.
Mr. STARK: I mean people would do if they got like five bucks.
SMITH: Five bucks?
Mr. STARK: Yeah. Or if there was like more than just like a piece of paper that's like you have to do this or you could get in trouble, which no one will get in trouble; that's why they don't do it.
I, like, like that they made a point of including all the "likes" in the transcript. Said another tragically disillusioned tragic hipster of a country that's so, like, disappointed her, "If we don't count, why be counted?" If you believe the media narrative, it's precisely that sentiment that's got Michele Bachmann and tea partiers burning their census forms in their backyards in protest. Except, of course, it's a lie: The rate of return in Republican districts is doing just fine (better than fine, actually). Which means it's a time for a new media narrative: The fact that conservatives are turning their forms in proves that the tea party's a total bust. QED.
Here's SNL's mildly amusing opener from last night. This is the best you're going to get with Armisen having to carry a sketch as Obama, so don't grumble. Exit question: How will hipsters cope when Brooklyn loses House seats due to their low rate of participation? Ironically, I'm guessing.

The Northern Clemency (CD-Audio)Philip Hensher, Carole Boyd
CD-Audio Published: 01/01/2009
- Not available
Shortlisted for the 2008 Man Booker Prize, "The Northern Clemency" is an epic chronicle of the last 20 years of British life from one of the most highly regarded authors of his generation. Beginning in 1974 and ending with the fading of Thatcher's government in 1996, "The Northern Clemency" is Philip Hensher's epic portrait of an entire era, a novel concerned with the lives of ordinary people and history on the move. Set in Sheffield, it charts the relationship between two families: Malcolm and Katherine Glover and their three children; and their neighbours the Sellers family, newly arrived from London so that Bernie can pursue his job with the Electricity Board. The day the Sellers move in there is a crisis across the road: Malcolm Glover has left home, convinced his wife is having an affair. The consequences of this rupture will spread throughout the lives of both couples and their children, in particular 10-year-old Tim Glover, who never quite recovers from a moment of his mother's public cruelty and the amused taunting of 15-year-old Sandra Sellers, a childhood crises that will come to a head twenty years later. In the background, England is changing: from a manufacturing and industrial based economy into a new world of shops, restaurants and service industries, a shift particularly marked in the north by the miners' strike of 1984, which has a dramatic impact on both families. Inspired by the expansive scale and webs of relationships of the great nineteenth-century Russian novels, "The Northern Clemency" shows Philip Hensher to be one of our greatest chroniclers of English life. This recording is unabridged. Typically abridged audiobooks are not more than 60 per cent of the author's work and as low as 30 per cent with characters and plotlines removed.

Favorite Show on WEIU-TV: Masterpiece Classic, such as Downton Abbey, Birdsong and Mr. Selfridge and Masterpiece Mystery such as Sherlock, Inspector Lewis and Wallender. The best of British television drama comes right to your TV without commercial interruption! What's not to like?
What have you learned while working at WEIU? Coming from a very different market in Texas, I've had to quickly learn about the community that WEIU serves, and I've become very fond of it. As I've gotten to know the staff at WEIU, I've learned how dedicated they are to bringing the kind of quality television that has relevance to the community, but still entertains and stimulates viewers — no easy feat in the age of 200 channels.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? The question should be "Why wouldn't someone become a member of WEIU?" If you've ever enjoyed the wide range of programming WEIU provides; if your children or grandchildren have ever learned about letters or numbers or even social skills from the 11.5 hours of stimulating, non-violent and educational kids' programming WEIU provides each day; if you've been able to experience an opera or a Shakespearean play or a rock concert or a Broadway show that you wouldn't otherwise have had access to; if you've learned to knit or do woodworking or to cook by watching WEIU's programming, then why shouldn't you be a member of WEIU?

I support WEIU because I know that at any time, day or night we can tune in and we can count on good, quality entertainment and good wholesome programming made available to us. WEIU is what I consider to be a family friendly television station because I know that if my children or grandchildren are visiting and they enter the room where I'm watching TV, I don't have to worry about anything inappropriate being on my TV screen. I know that I can trust WEIU and I love that!

Radon is an ordorless, colorless radioactive gas that can be present in dangerous levels in the home. Released from rock or soil, radon seeps into homes through foundation cracks, radon can reach hazardous levels if trapped indoors. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been active on indoor radon issues for more than 20 years, and recommends that all homes in the United States be tested for radon and harmful, high levels be reduced.
Radon inhalation accounts for up to 14 percent of lung cancers worldwide, and is the world's second-leading risk of lung cancer, next to smoking.
According to the American Cancer Society, the leading cause of lung cancer is smoking with an estimated 160,000 cancer deaths in the U.S. every year, Lung cancer now surpasses breast cancer as the number one cause of death among women. A smoker who is also exposed to harmful levels of radon has even a higher risk of getting lung cancer.
According to EPA estimates, radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and overall, the second leading cause of lung cancer – responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. Approximately 2,899 of radon deaths occur among people who have never smoked. The third leading cause of lung cancer is secondhand smoke and responsible for an estimated 3,000 lung cancer deaths every year. Exposure to secondhand smoke can also have serious consequences for children's health, including asthma attacks, respiratory tract problems (bronchitis, pneumonia), and may cause ear infections.
A North American study and a European study in 2005 show direct evidence linking residential radon exposure to lung cancer. Both studies combined data from several previous residential studies and onfirm the radon health risks predicted by occupational studies of underground miner's who breathed radon for a period of years. "These findings effectively end any doubts about the risks to Americans of having radon in their homes," said Tom Kelly, Former Director of EPA's Indoor Environments Division. "We know that radon is a carcinogen. This research confirms that breathing low levels of radon can lead to lung cancer."
In January of 2005, the U.S. Surgeon General issued a Health Advisory warning Americans about the health risk from exposure to radon in indoor air. The Chief Physician urged Americans to test their homes to find out how much radon they might be breathing. The Surgeon General also stressed the need to remedy the problem as soon as possible when the radon level is 4 pCi/L or more, noting that more than 20,000 Americans die of radon-related lung cancer each year.

While we all worry about how we'd handle a natural disaster or a fire we often ignore the low-key risks every home faces. A small leak may not seem like much to worry about but it can lead to a mold infestation that threatens the integrity of your home and your family's health. That's why it's important to protect your home from Huntsville AL water damage by using a number of strategies.
If the ceiling in your bedroom starts leaking you'll probably take care of it relatively quickly. After all, it's hard to ignore a problem like that. But what if water starts seeping into your crawl space? There are areas of your home you can easily go a whole year without seeing and many of these areas are where you're most likely to see threats develop. Mold grows in areas that are dark and wet, so any area that's dark, out of the way and near an outer wall or pipe should be monitored or waterproofed.
The first layer of defense you have against water getting in your home is your walls, windows and roof. If any part of your home's exterior is damaged you will be at an increased risk. Whenever your area goes through a particularly strong storm you should examine it to make sure that there's no damage you have to worry about. Seemingly insignificant problems like missing shingles or a hole in your drywall can put your house at risk if they aren't treated in a timely manner.
When you think about Huntsville AL water damage you might think of water invading your home during flooding or other periods of heavy rain. While this is a serious concern you also need to be aware of the water that you pay to have running through your home. Take a moment to consider your heater, washing machine, pipes and anything similar. If any of these develops a leak and is left untreated it can create serious issues. That's why you should check them regularly and replace them when necessary. When winter comes around it's especially important to keep an eye on your pipes in case of freezing. You should also always check your water bill to see if there are any spikes, since they can be a sign of a serious problem.
If you're not sure that you can properly protect your home from water or you're not positive that you've done enough you should consider professional help. Even people who are experienced working around their home might find themselves unable to match the level of service provided by a company that is completely dedicated to protecting the homes of its clients. Whether you need to take preventative measure or you have a mold problem you should know who to call for help.
While it's important to take immediate steps you also have to remember that proper home maintenance is a task that never really ends. You always have to keep an eye out for leaks that start appearing in your home. It's also important make sure you know how to shut off your water if the need arises. The sooner you notice a problem and deal with it the easier it will be to handle. So if you have an area of your home that's at a high risk of Huntsville AL water damage like a basement, attic or crawlspace, you should consider what you can do today to make sure that your home stays protected.
We specialize in the following Huntsville AL mold remediation, radon testing and crawlspace services, including:
That is, until something goes wrong. It's easy for homeowners to forget that they even have a crawlspace until they notice their floors have become infected with mold thanks to standing water left beneath their house. Fortunately for homeowners there are ways to waterproof your Huntsville AL home's crawlspace so you can avoid all the dangers that mold poses.
If your crawlspace isn't water proof then that means it's the perfect breeding ground for mold. There's also the fact that it's hidden away. What may start as a minor problem can develop into something serious as time goes on and the infestation grows.
That's why it's important to take advantage of Huntsville AL crawlspace water proofing as soon as possible. As a sidenote it's not just crawlspaces that have this problem, any dark part of your house that you don't see very often could be at risk.
If you want to protect your house from what may be going on in the dark and damp recesses of your home you need to invest in Huntsville AL crawlspace water proofing. Repairing damages caused by standing water can be extremely costly.
No one likes to pay for this sort of thing but you have to think in the long term. Spending a relatively small amount now can save you a lot down the road, including a lot of time and the potential loss of valuable items. Too many households have been forced to throw away family heirlooms because of mold damage.
You may think that mold isn't worth worrying about but it can be a serious problem. It can ruin anything porous that it contaminates. This includes insulation, wooden floors, furniture and more. Mold contamination can be very costly from a financial perspective, but it can also cause health problems.
Mold irritates the bodies of otherwise healthy people, causing reactions like sneezing, difficulty breathing and other kinds of irritation. Mold infestation is especially hard on children, with some saying that mold exposure can cause kids to become asthmatic. For more information visit the Center for Disease Control's page on mold infection. The fact of the matter is that mold has no place in a healthy body.
Many homeowners don't feel any urgency when it comes to dealing with potential water problems because nothing has gone wrong yet. That's an understandable but extremely risky attitude. Homes that don't have crawlspace water proofing in Huntsville AL face serious damage if even minor flooding occurs. If you haven't had to deal with any problems arising from your crawlspace you should be thankful, but you should still act as quickly as possible to avoid any future problems.
After all, mold that develops in the crawlspace can damage the very foundations of your home. If your home may be at risk it's time to call the experts when it comes to crawlspace water proofing. One to the Huntsville AL crawlspace water proofing experts can save you time and money down the road.

A mold contamination can happen to just about anyone. It can strike where you least expect it, in walls, electrical equipment and areas that you don't normally see. That's why many times homeowners don't notice mold until they perform a thorough examination of their home, like you do before selling a home.
One of the main causes of mold growth is water leakage. Bathrooms, kitchens and any rooms with plumbing that may leak are all at risk. If you can think of anywhere in your house that's dark, warm, out of the way and potentially you should consider regular check ups to make sure that no mold has started growing.
Mold isn't just destructive, it also poses a number of health risks. Stuffiness, irritation and breathing problems can all be caused or exacerbated by mold. Infants and people with lung issues are at greater risk for mold related problems.
When it comes to removing mold from your Huntsville AL home, you can either try to do it yourself or better yet, hire a Huntsville AL mold remediation expert to do it for you. When comparing the two options you need to remember that you are taking on additional responsibilities as a home seller. If you attempt to remove the mold yourself and fail to do an adequate job you can end up losing more money in the long run than you would have spent paying for professional clean up.
Remember that safety is essential. make sure that you wear rubber gloves, air-tight goggles and an N-95 mask or something that provides similar or better protection. Mold can be toxic and so you should avoid touching it with your bare skin or breathing it in.
The steps described here are a rough outline that should give you a good idea of what Huntsville AL mold remediation involves. For an in-depth look at the process check out the Centers for Disease Control.
If you suspect mold, we highly recommend that you hire a with professional Huntsville AL mold remediation expert.

Mold infiltrates every Huntsville AL household to some degree. Why? Because mold has been on the earth for millions of years and is everywhere. Where there is moisture, you will find mold. However, moldy environments, especially in your home where you spend most of your time, can cause a variety of health problems.
What is weird is that some people are highly sensitive to mold, where others suffer no ill-effects at all to the same exposure. Hence the reason why household mold can be so hard to detect. If everyone was affected the same way, a mold problem would be a major red flag and easily detected.
For mold-sensitive people, household, noxious mold can cause throat irritation, nasal stuffiness,coughing or wheezing, eye irritation and skin irritation. Folks with mold allergies may have even more severe reactions. Immune-compromised people and those with chronic lung illnesses, such as obstructive lung disease, may get serious infections in their lungs when they are exposed to certain types of mold.
These people should stay away from areas that are likely to have mold, such as compost piles, cut grass, and wooded areas. What you should know is that after having adverse reactions to household mold, you will ALWAYS be highly susceptible to mold and must be extremely vigilant that your household and environment is mold free. Mold sensitivity is NOT something that will improve over time.
In 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there is more that sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms and cough in people that are otherwise healthy. In addition, the IOM found sufficient evidence to link exposure to damp indoor environments in general to upper respiratory tract symptoms and cough in otherwise healthy people and with asthma symptoms in people with asthma.
In 2009, the World Health Organization issued additional guidance, the WHO Guidelines for Indoor Air Quality: Dampness and Mold .
The conditions that contribute to mold health risk were summarized as follows:
- "The prevalence of indoor dampness varies widely within and among countries, continents and climate zones. It is estimated to affect 10–50% of indoor environments in Europe, North America, Australia, India and Japan. In certain settings, such as river valleys and coastal areas, the conditions of dampness are substantially more severe than the national averages for such conditions.
- The amount of water on or in materials is the most important trigger of the growth of microorganisms, including fungi, actinomycetes and other bacteria.
- Microorganisms are ubiquitous. Microbes propagate rapidly wherever water is available. The dust and dirt normally present in most indoor spaces provide sufficient nutrients to support extensive microbial growth. While mold can grow on all materials, selection of appropriate materials can prevent dirt accumulation, moisture penetration and mould growth.
- Microbial growth may result in greater numbers of spores, cell fragments, alergens, mycotoxins, endotoxins, β-glucans and volatile organic compounds in indoor air. The causative agents of adverse health effects have not been identified conclusively, but an excess level of any of these agents in the indoor environment is a potential health hazard.
- Microbial interactions and moisture-related physical and chemical emissions from building materials may also play a role in dampness-related health effects.
- Building standards and regulations with regard to comfort and health do not sufficiently emphasize requirements for preventing and controlling excess moisture and dampness.
- Apart from its entry during occasional events (such as water leaks, heavy rain and flooding), most moisture enters a building in incoming air, including that infiltrating through the building envelope or that resulting from the occupants' activities.
- Allowing surfaces to become cooler than the surrounding air may result in unwanted condensation. Thermal bridges (such as metal window frames), inadequate insulation and unplanned air pathways, or cold water plumbing and cool parts of air-conditioning units can result in surface temperatures below the dew point of the air and in dampness.
The following guidelines were also formulated on review:
- Persistent dampness and microbial growth on interior surfaces and in building structures should be avoided or minimized, as they may lead to adverse health effects.
- Indicators of dampness and microbial growth include the presence of condensation on surfaces or in structures, visible mold, perceived moldy odor and a history of water damage, leakage or penetration. Thorough inspection and, if necessary, appropriate measurements can be used to confirm indoor moisture and microbial growth.
- As the relations between dampness, microbial exposure and health effects cannot be quantified precisely, no quantitative health-based guideline values or thresholds can be recommended for acceptable levels of contamination with microorganisms. Instead, it is recommended that dampness and mold-related problems be prevented. When they occur, they should be re-mediated because they increase the risk of hazardous exposure to microbes and chemicals.
- Well-designed, well-constructed, well-maintained building envelopes are critical to the prevention and control of excess moisture and microbial growth, as they prevent thermal bridges and the entry of liquid or vapor-phase water.
- Management of moisture requires proper control of temperatures and ventilation to avoid excess humidity, condensation on surfaces and excess moisture in materials. Ventilation should be distributed effectively throughout spaces, and stagnant air zones should be avoided.
- Building owners are responsible for providing a healthy workplace or living environment free of excess moisture and mold, by ensuring proper building construction and maintenance. The occupants are responsible for managing the use of water, heating, ventilation and appliances in a manner that does not lead to dampness and mold growth. Local recommendations for different climatic regions should be updated to control dampness-mediated microbial growth in buildings and to ensure desirable indoor air quality.
- Dampness and mold may be particularly prevalent in poorly maintained housing for low-income people. Remediation of the conditions that lead to adverse exposure should be given priority to prevent an additional contribution to poor health in populations who are already living with an increased burden of disease.
- The guidelines are intended for worldwide use, to protect public health under various environmental, social and economic conditions, and to support the achievement of optimal indoor air quality. They focus on building characteristics that prevent the occurrence of adverse health effects associated with dampness or mold. The guidelines pertain to various levels of economic development and different climates, cover all relevant population groups and propose feasible approaches for reducing health risks due to dampness and microbial contamination. Both private and public buildings (e.g. offices and nursing homes) are covered, as dampness and mold are risks everywhere. Settings in which there are particular production processes and hospitals with high-risk patients or sources of exposure to pathogens are not, however, considered.
- While the guidelines provide objectives for indoor air quality management, they do not give instructions for achieving those objectives. The necessary action and indicators depend on local technical conditions, the level of development, human capacities and resources. The guidelines recommended by WHO acknowledge this heterogeneity. In formulating policy targets, governments should consider their local circumstances and select actions that will ensure achievement of their health objectives most effectively.
Huntsville AL home owners can have mold entering in open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold in the air outside can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, bags, and pets can and be carried indoors. It will grow in places with excessive moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold likes paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products, and can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery.
Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air. Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.

As a Huntsville, Alabama homeowner, you do what you can to keep your home clean and safe. And let's face it, few things are as important as having a place you can feel secure while awake with your family and at sleep at night.
But even the most cautious homeowners can fall victim to unseen dangers. One example is household mold and there are all sorts of places in your home where mold can hide – out of sight and out of mind. Household mold can happen to anyone. The key is taking the right steps to get rid of it as soon as possible. That's where Huntsville Alabama mold remediation comes in.
In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people; with asthma symptoms in people with asthma; and with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals susceptible to that immune-mediated condition. The IOM also found limited or suggestive evidence linking indoor mold exposure and respiratory illness in otherwise healthy children.
"Huntsville AL mold Remediation" is a fancy phrase for fixing a problem and once your specific mold problem has been diagnosed, it's time for the remediation phase to begin without hesitation or delay. Remember that mold isn't just ugly, it can be extremely hazardous to your health. That is why we highly recommend that you hire trained Huntsville AL mold remediation experts to deal with it for you.
Huntsville AL Mold Removal and treatment tends to take place over four steps:
Beyond removing the current mold, it's also crucial that the cause of the mold is handled as best as it can be. Leaks are one of the leading causes of mold so proper Huntsville AL mold removal includes examining the environment and dealing with problems like leakage.
While you can attempt to deal with your mold problem yourself, there are a lot of reasons why you should seriously consider hiring professional help. Proper Huntsville AL mold removal requires a certain degree of expertise and the right equipment. Many amateurs deal with the obvious mold while missing the root causes and further infestation. Hiring a team of EPA-certified professionals may cost a bit more right now but it can mean big savings in the long run.
Mold doesn't just pose a health risk as it grows in your house, it can also pose a danger as you clean it up. Some household molds are toxic, which is why all mold should be treated with the utmost care. Once again, Huntsville AL Mold removal professionals have the right equipment and training to make sure that the whole process goes smoothly and safely.
It's also important to think of proper mold treatment as an investment. If you're like most people your house is the most valuable thing you own. If you want your home's value to remain strong or even appreciate over the years you have to make these sort of investments, or else you'll be very disappointed when the time to sell comes.
There's a time and a place for do-it-yourself work, but when it comes to something as important and potentially dangerous as mold removal your best bet is turning to the professionals.

The most important thing to know about radon is that it has been linked to lung cancer. The EPA estimates that radon is responsible for "21,000 lung cancer deaths per year." Hence the reason why it is so important to test your house to make sure it's free of this dangerous gas. If you are looking to buy a house, you should have any potential purchase tested too.
Unless you live near a chemical or nuclear plant you'd probably never think to worry about a dangerous amount of radioactive gas contaminating your home. The truth is that radioactivity is more common than you might think. The EPA explains that "Uranium is commonly found in very small amounts in rocks, soil, water, plants, and animals (including humans)." As the uranium decays it releases radon, which can get into homes once it gets in the air.
Once airborne there are a number of ways radon can infiltrate a home. Cracks in walls, gaps between boards and a ny similar spaces can all act as gateways for the gas. If air is getting into your home then radon is most likely too. The question is whether the levels of radon present are acceptable or not.
Because radon is invisible to the naked eye and completely odorless tests are needed if you want to make sure a house is safe. A level of radon 4 picocuries per liter or higher is unacceptable. If you find this in your home you should take immediate action. Please note that while 4 pCi/L is the government mandated maximum level of radon you should try to keep levels as low as possible. Any amount of radon in your home can cause health problems.
It's not just important to check your current residence, it's also essential that you make sure you know the radon levels of any home you are planning on buying. if you find that a home you're looking at has an unacceptable level of radon contamination you should demand that the homeowners take action.
You should also know that radon testing usually isn't included with most pre-home sale inspections. As a home buyer, you should make sure you request a radon test as part of the sales process.
National Radon Program Services states that "Nearly one out of every 15 homes has a radon level the EPA considers to be elevated." It's a problem that far too many are unaware of. If you don't know if your radon level is acceptable or not then it's probably time to get your home tested. Radon testing is also an important but often skipped step in the home buying process If you're planning on buying a home, make sure that it's been tested before closing a deal.
When it comes to the health of your family, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain from radon testing.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), if you are planning any major structural renovations, such as converting an unfinished basement area into a living space, it is especially important to test the area for radon before you begin renovation.
Radon comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon can be found all over the U.S. It can get into any type of building — homes, offices, and schools — and result in a high indoor radon level. Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk and since there is no known safe level of radon, there can always be some risk, but the risk can be reduced by lowering the radon level in your Huntsville Alabama home.
There are several proven methods to reduce radon levels in your Huntsville Alabama home. The one primarily used is a vent pipe system and fan, which pulls radon from beneath the house and vents it to the outside. This system, known as a soil suction radon reduction system, does not require any major changes to your home. Sealing foundation cracks and other openings makes this kind of system more effective and cost-efficient. Similar systems can also be installed in houses with crawl spaces. The right system depends on the design of your home and other factors.
Most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs. The cost to fix can vary widely depending on how your home was built and the extent of the radon problem. It is recommended that you consult with your state radon office or get one or more estimates from qualified mitigators.
Technical knowledge and special skills are required for lowering high radon levels. You should use a contractor who is trained to fix radon problems who can study the radon problem and help you pick the right treatment method for your home. In selecting a radon reduction method for your home, you and your contractor should consider several things, including: how high your initial radon level is, the costs of installation and system operation, your home size, and your foundation type.
Ways to reduce radon in your Huntsville Alabama home are discussed in EPA's "Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction."
We specialize in the following Huntsville Alabama Radon testing and mitigation services as well as mold and crawlspace services:
For crawlspaces, the EPA states "An effective method to reduce radon levels in crawlspace homes involves covering the earth floor with a high-density plastic sheet. A vent pipe and fan are used to draw the radon from under the sheet and vent it to the outdoors. This form of soil suction is called submembrane suction, and when properly applied is the most effective way to reduce radon levels in crawlspace homes.
The most common approaches are active soil depressurization (ASD) and mechanical ventilation (MV). Experience has shown that ASD is applicable to most buildings since radon usually enters from the soil and rock underneath and MV is used when the indoor radon is emitted from the building materials. A less common approach works efficiently by reducing air pressures within cavities of exterior and demising walls where radon emitting from building materials, most often concrete blocks, collects.
Nearly all mechanical ventilation-based radon control systems are of fixed rate operation, and even if the indoor relative humidity in the interior of a building goes high, they will continue to inject moisture-laden air into this wet environment increasing the likelihood of mold growth. This is especially risky in hot, humid climates. It is not an unusual practice for radon mitigators in hot, humid climates to warn of possible resulting mold problems by way of an easily removed warning sticker. With well-sealed HVAC ducts, very small negative pressures, perhaps as little as 0.5 pascal, will prevent the entry of highly radon-laden wall cavity air from entering into the breathing zone. Radon mitigation can prevent mold growth in exterior walls in heating climates, especially suseptible clients to Radon.

The Environmental Protection Agency, Surgeon General, American Lung Association, American Medical Association, and National Safety Council recommend testing your Huntsville Alabama home for radon. There really is no other way to know your home's radon levels.
There are no immediate symptoms that will alert you to the presence of radon and typically, it takes years of exposure before any problems surface. That being said, radon has become a national environmental health problem and elevated levels of radon have been detected in every state. According to the EPA, there are as many as 8 million homes throughout the country that have elevated radon levels. They also have a wealth of scientific data on the relationship between radon exposure and the development of lung cancer.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown (radioactive decay) of uranium. Radon is the second leading cause of Lung Cancer in the United States, after smoking and the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Radon kills more than 22,000 people each year.
Radon is usually found in igneous rock and soil, but in some cases, well water may also be a source of radon. Possible human exposure to radon is caused by inhalation and ingestion. Radon in the ground, groundwater, or building materials can permeate working and living spaces and disintegrates into its decay products. Although high concentrations of radon in groundwater may contribute to radon exposure through ingestion, inhalation of radon released from water is usually more detrimental.
Based on a national residential radon survey completed in 1991, the average indoor radon level is about 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) in air in the United States. According to the EPA, a family whose home has radon levels of 4 pCi/l is exposed to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if that family was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site.
If you suspect elevated levels of radon in your home, or just want to make sure the environment you live in is safe for your family give us a call.
