What is the purpose of a clearance test after mold remediation?

The purpose of a clearance test after mold remediation is to confirm that mold levels are within acceptable limits. Once remediation activities are completed, it’s crucial to ensure that the environment is safe and that mold spores have been adequately removed. This test involves measuring the concentration of mold spores in the air and on surfaces to verify that they are below established thresholds, indicating effective remediation and a return to a healthy indoor environment.

This process helps protect building occupants from potential health risks associated with mold exposure, allowing for confidence in the remediation work performed. The clearance test ultimately serves as a final assessment to affirm that the premises are now safe for occupancy.
