From the publisher: "This book contains the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Fungi, Mycotoxins and Bioaerosols - Health effects, Assessment, Prevention and Control, a scientific meeting that brought together physicians, veterinarians, industrial hygienists, mycologists, chemists, public health specialists, toxicologists, and laboratory specialists among many others. Four years have passed since the first International Conference in Saratoga Springs, New York: Fungi and Bacteria in Indoor Air Environments in fall of 1994 (Johanning and Yang, 1995). Again, we gathered a wide range of health professionals, indoor air consultants, research scientists and policy makers from universities and governmental agencies, such as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Institute for Occupational and Environmental Health (NIOSH) and the Department of Health (DOH) - and last but not least the stake holders: representatives of patients, insurance companies, building managers, lawyers and unions to present new research results and to discuss the health implications of microbials in indoor environments or industries. Following our second meeting in 1996 that focused more on specific technical issues related to microbial remediation in buildings, we felt it was again time to get together, to talk and to compare notes about this theme that has become such a hot topic for the scientific community, but also for the public and the media. It became truly an international meeting with almost 350 people, and about half of the participants coming from around the world, from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden and other countries - with more than 90 original presentations on the health effects, assessment, prevention and control of bioaerosols, fungi and mycotoxins at home or in the workplace. The stated learning objectives were to Discuss current data and new information on exposure, assessment, analytical methods, applied research, pathology, epidemiology, microbiology, health effects, prevention and mitigation of bioaerosol exposure  Recognize the importance of bioaerosol exposure and adverse health effects; Develop a multi-disciplinary team approach for the recognition and management of bioaerosol exposure. This meeting has become recognized as a unique forum to present original research to a critical peer-audience, to discuss public health policies, but also to review concrete technical issues about detection and control of fungi and bacteria in our environment. The presented papers and scientific debate also showed that this is a topic of international concern. It crosses national barriers and affects different climatic zones. Since our first meeting in 1994 there is hardly any professional conference meeting on indoor air quality and health issues that does not mention moisture and water damage-related mold problems in buildings. The apparent widespread nature of the problems and the far reaching public health implications are gaining wider recognition among professionals and the lay public, but surely not without controversies and conflict of interest in some cases.".
