The New York Health Department (NYHD) version of Mold Damage Restoration Guidelines, were actually the first (one of the first) guidelines produced for the public nationwide for mold removal. These guidelines, once the norm for mold damage clean-up, are almost never used because the EPA and the IICRC guidelines are more popular. However, the NYHD Guidelines are very similar to the EPA Guidelines. You can read these guidelines in full by going to the New York Health Department's website and searching for their Mold Damage Restoration Guidelines.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed their own set of guidelines to assist homeowners and property owners on mold removal. The EPA established their guidelines based upon the size and amount of visible mold you have. The guidelines are for
(1) less than 10 square feet,
(2) 10-100 square feet and
(3) over 100 square feet.
These guidelines advise whether you should use containment and negative air pressure, special disposal suits, face masks, etc.
