The war against mold
USG Corp. has launched www.getmoldfacts.com, a new Web site that provides the latest information about controlling mold in buildings and homes.

The site�s key message is that users can help control mold by controlling moisture. It offers mold-fighting facts, highlights mold-resistant products from USG, and lists additional resources with information about mold and moisture. The site takes visitors through preconstruction care, construction care and recommended maintenance practices. It also discusses where mold-resistant products should be installed for maximum effectiveness.

USG has also offered a grant to form a new organization called the Responsible Solutions to Mold Coalition (RSMC). This coalition will offer accurate information to the construction industry and homeowners about controlling moisture, and thereby mold, in commercial and residential construction. More about the RSMC can be found at www.responsiblemoldsolutions.org.
