Mold/Bacteria Lab - A Perfect 10 - AIHA Accredited
Tampa, Fl -- Perfect, indeed. Environmental Diagnostics Laboratory (EDLab), the in-house microbiology laboratory of Pure Air Control Services, has continued its impressive perfect scores (fungi and bacteria) over the past 3 years (2005 – 2007 - 9 rounds) on the Environmental Microbiology Proficiency Analytical Testing (EMPAT) Program, a performance accreditation program by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA). This places EDLab as the most distinguished, accurate environmental microbiology laboratory in the world.
The EMPAT program was designed and developed for microbiology labs specializing in analysis of microorganisms commonly detected in air, fluids, and bulk samples. These samples are most often collected from schools, offices, hospitals, industrial and agricultural areas and other work environments, and then sent to the EDLab for analysis.
EDLab was tested in both bacteria and fungi categories, and received 100% in both areas. With a total possible score of 30 (60 for both mycology and bacteriology), EDLab scored the maximum possible score in both bacteria and fungi or 60 during the past 3 years. During these three years (05 - 07, out of a possible 540 points EDLab has received a perfect 540 points. This level of 100% accuracy is unmatched in the industry.
The proficiency samples are scored based on the following point system in 2005/2006/2007:
· Correctly identified at the genus level (if genus identification correct) + 9 points
· Correctly identified at the specie level (if species is not attempted) +1 points
· Incorrectly identify species level (and species is incorrectly attempted) - 1 points
· Incorrect identification at genus level - 0 points
During the 2005 - 2007 EMPAT rounds (9), EDLab received an impressive “Perfect 10”, 100% accuracy on mold identification, and on bacteria. Many accredited labs only are proficient in mold only and do not participate in the bacteria identification which can be equally problematic in the indoor environment.
A laboratory is then rated proficient for the applicable Field of Testing Methods if two (2) of the last three (3) consecutive EMPAT rounds have passing scores. A passing score is achieved when the laboratory receives a minimum of eighty-five (85) percent for the associated EMPAT sample.
“Invention was born out of necessity in the case of EDLab receiving a perfect score in the EMPAT program. The necessity was to ensure our customers that EDLab has the most accurate, professional, scientific methods and protocol to make our conclusions for authentic laboratory results. A third party evaluation is always an excellent method to challenge the accuracy and standards of any laboratory. Clearly, with our 100% accuracy EMPAT score, EDLab maintains its goal to provide the highest of service, level of accuracy and proficiency the industry has to offer,” stated Dr. Rajiv Sahay, Director of EDLab.
Alan Wozniak, President/CEO of Pure Air Control Services indicated that “the goal of each of our four (4) divisions is to provide the highest quality, most economical environmental service to our customers always meeting or exceeding their expectations. EDLab continues to be the leader in environmental microbiology laboratories and we are proud of their continued efforts.”
EDLab is a nationally recognized AIHA-accredited environmental microbiology laboratory and was the first AIHA-accredited lab in the state of Florida. EDLab continues to stand out in the field of indoor environmental quality, and utilize the data collected over the past 10 years, and over 100,000 samples, to create a vast database that is being utilized to set standards and provide trends for developing baseline conditions of IEQ.
In 2005, EDLab presented a white paper at the AIHA conference in Anaheim, CA, before a packed auditorium of over 400 people, entitled “Bio-Aerosols – A Ten Year Study.” The study provided indoor analysts with guidelines to determine what is considered “normal” in an indoor environment for mold and bacteria. A copy of this study is available upon request.

dentity Theft Expert and Speaker on Personal Security:
Save Money on Rising Costs of Data Breaches by Spending it on Better Security That Costs Less
IDTheftSecurity.com) A national news organization's analysis of the year's data thefts has found that the number of these has tripled in 2007 over the previous year, and end-of-year research showed that the associated costs also rose. According to Robert Siciliano, a widely televised and quoted personal security and identity theft expert, organizations could save money by spending it on security that costs less.
"Whenever data is stolen, an identity thief is not too far behind," said Siciliano. "With a threefold increase this year over the number of data breaches in 2006 -- already a year rife with data thefts -- industry leaders have an enormous problem on its hands. Security needs to improve, and quickly."
CEO of IDTheftSecurity.com and a member of the Bank Fraud & IT Security Report's editorial board, Siciliano leads Fortune 500 companies and their clients in workshops that explore consumer education solutions for security issues. An experienced identity theft speaker and author of "The Safety Minute: 01," he has discussed data security and consumer protection on CNBC, on NBC's "Today Show," on FOX News, and elsewhere.
On Dec. 9, USA Today presented its own analysis of the year's data breaches, reporting a greater than 300 percent increase in the number of sensitive data records lost in 2007 vs. the previous year, from 49.7 gone missing in 2006 to more than 162 million in 2007. Furthermore, according to the Ponemon Institute's 2007 Annual Study: Cost of a Data Breach, announced on Nov. 28, the cost per lost record for organizations that experience data breaches has risen by more than 8 percent, from $182 last year to $197 in 2007:
http://www.ponemon.org/press/PR_Ponemon_2007-COB_071126_F.pdf
Significantly affecting the increase, customers took their business elsewhere in greater numbers following data breaches this past year, the study found.
Concerns over widespread identity theft follow any large data breach. On Dec. 18, Vancouver, Canada's "News 1130 All News Radio" reported that the Better Business Bureau named identity theft as one of the top ten scams of 2007. In a year replete with fraud and scams, news reports in December provided yet more anecdotal evidence to support this. For instance, on Dec. 3, vnunet.com reported that authorities had identified "more than 100 websites…selling account information for U.K. bank customers." The sites contained customers' account details, PINs, and security codes.
"It is through data breaches that thieves acquire inventories of sensitive information such as bank account numbers and the associated PINs and security codes," said Siciliano. "This data is worth big bucks on the black market. Why else would data breaches be growing in their frequency? If more than 162 million unique data records have gone missing this past year, the only responsible thing to do is to conclude that 162 million unique data records are now in the hands of thieves all over the place."
Readers may view YouTube video of Siciliano on "FOX News":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqoHSACQ34U
The clip shows him explaining how the ubiquity of Social Security numbers as universal identifiers helps thieves online and off-line. Readers who wish to learn how to protect themselves against identity theft may view video of Siciliano at VideoJug:
