ARLINGTON, VA — The official introduction of U.S. House of Representatives bill HR 5040, “The United States Toxic Mold Safety & Protection Act,” by Representative John Conyers (D-MI) has elicited solid support from the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). But Paul T. Stalknecht, president and CEO of the national trade association, noted that this is the opening of the mold debate.
“ACCA applauds Rep. John Conyers for taking this important first step in ensuring that American homes are kept safe and healthy for our citizens,” stated Stalknecht. “While the extent to which toxic mold has an impact on human health is certainly debatable, it is a debate worth having.
