Episode 98 - Mold in HVAC Systems with Cary Cooper

Exposing Mold

Cary Cooper is a seasoned heating and air conditioning technician. He has worked in a large variety of settings and facilities, including but not limited to: food production, healthcare and hospital, pharmaceutical and biologic production, industrial and manufacturing, commercial office spaces, multi-unit and single-family homes, governmental offices, educational institutions, pharmaceutical research facilities, military and national security research facilities. Cary has additional professional experience in residential construction, remodeling with a focus on building envelope construction, mechanical engineering, and water intrusion prevention. Cary left the industry in 2018 due to his rapid decline in health that was later attributed to co-infections and mold exposure. He returned to the industry after partial healing, but ultimately left again due to the industry’s attitude towards the handling of mold, silica, chemical and toxin exposure, and the resulting impact on employee and occupant health. Cary looks to expose the general disregard and ignorance that plagues the industry and to use his professional experiences to help others.
