How to Do Quick Home Inspections for MOLD (Walkthroughs)
Healthy Home Guide
View ChannelAbout
Hi, I’m Alex Kessler. I believe that everyone deserves to live in a home that supports their health. Even renters. I share indoor air quality improvement strategies that actually work in the real world, not ones built on marketing hype. I have an innate tendency to meticulously test strategies for improving my quality of life, and have had to do so mostly out of necessity. What qualifies me to speak about building science? 1.) I have been severely chronically ill with CIRS from toxic mold exposure. It's become my mission to help ensure that what happened to me does not happen to others. 2.) I’m a translational scientist in the medical field. That means that it's my job to translate scientific research into practice. Every day I read research studies and interpret their implications. 3.) My work has been recognized by leaders in building science and environmental health, such as Dr. Allison Bailes. I also wrote a chapter in John Banta’s book Mold Controlled.
