10 | HEALTHY INDOORS SHOW — October/November 2018
HI
's Bob Krell had an opportunity to sit
down with IAQ industry veteran, Tim He-
bert, after his presentation at the IAQ &
Energy 2018 Conference earlier this year
to discuss some key areas involving bac-
terial contamination indoors that are often overlooked. The
focus of his presentation at the event was how endotoxins
from gram-negative bacteria in moist indoor environments
can adversely affect occupant's health.
Tim and Bob have a long history dating back to the
1990s, where they met while serving together on the board
of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA),
and they have an informative and entertaining chat about a
variety of indoor environmental industry topics.
