The state of California established a fact-finding body, created through legislation in 2001, that, through the CA Research Bureau, produced a summary of its findings on mold in January, 2006. It should be noted that this summary did not contain all of the most important findings, from 2004 - 2006, and unfortunately cites the ACOEM Position Paper, too soon to reveal the accusations that it supports corporate interests and was authored by several defense experts, according to the Wall Street Journal (Jan., 2006) and IJOEH (2007).

"All authorities, including those who question the evidence for health damage from exposure to mold and to water-damaged environments, recommend avoidance of such environments, correction of the causes, and remediation of indoor mold and other microbial growth."(Umbach and Davis, CA Research Bureau, 2006)
