Toxic Mold Solutions
Toxic Mold Solutionsis a 2003 television series designed to shed knowledge and accurate scientific information on the subject of indoor mold. It was created by American filmmaker Richard Arsenault who was inspired by his own family's ordeal, injuries and property loss caused by mold exposure in a rental home.The film successfully dispelled decades of misinformation and confusion about one of the most important environmental exposure issues facing the world today: indoor mold exposure and mold-related building damage.
Background
Toxic Moldwas a misunderstood and misrepresented environmental problem which grew out of the energy conservation efforts of the 70's. During the fuel shortage, buildings and houses were sealed to prevent air leakage without adequate regard for the consequences to the occupants. Although virtually every building prior to that had some level of mold, it was not a problem of significant proportions because air flow allowed structures to remain balanced and fresh air exchanged with indoor air regularly. Furthermore, buildings were built using products that did not generally facilitate mold growth. The energy efficiency movement of the 70's and 80's combined with new building materials like sheet rock, combined with the proliferation of refrigerated indoor air created a perfect storm of engineering and biological conditions that led to the growth of excessive indoor mold.
By the 1990's mold claims began to overwhelm property insurance and could have readily bankrupted the insurance industry. As such, property insurance companies simultaneously worked to exclude mold coverage from their policies and deny the existence of a medical basis for damages. Presently, most insurance policies exclude mold coverage, and many landlords now demand release forms to be signed by occupants following a flood of toxic mold lawsuits in the late 1990's and early 2000's. But the medical community now broadly accepts the potential dangers of excessive mold exposure.
As scientific knowledge and research uncovers the impact of fungi exposure on humans, exposure limits may be possible to prevent injury. The battle is an uphill struggle scientifically, because the amount of mycotoxins needed to cause injury may require measurements down into the fentagram level, combined with the ethical problems of human studies of inhaled mycotoxin exposure and the extreme range of variables encountered in human test studies.
Impacts of dermal or ingested mycotoxins have been well known for decades and are regulated by the FDA and other agencies.
Personal Tragedy Leads to Education
Richard Arsenault is an educational filmmaker who moved into a house in Burbank, California in 1999 with his family. They became ill immediately but it took three years to discover that the cause was concealed mold growing on all of the indoor walls of the property. Immediately following the exposure, Arsenault began educational research on the state of science regarding mold and discovered that the scientific community lacked consensus on the issue.
Biohazard Educational Productions
Arsenault teamed up with Aerotech Laboratories in 2003 and interviewed 44 of the world's top experts on indoor mold, building science, and medical research. He produced a DVD and television series titled Toxic Mold Solutions under a new company named Biohazard Educational Productionsin Arizona.
Controversy
The strain of producing a television series on mold and at the same time attempting to collect damages for his family's exposure proved untenable. Arsenault settled the lawsuit for lawyer's fees and chose to pursue the educational goals of the subject rather than personal justice. His $1.3 million lawsuit included compensation for over $100,000 in medical expenses and over $250,000 in property loss. Ultimately he had to discard over two tons of impossible to clean personal belongings that were so contaminated it was unsafe for anyone to be exposed to them.
Arsenault sold the product line to a Washington-based mold remediation company in 2009.
Lasting Benefits
Toxic Mold Solutions has never been legitimately challenged on a scientific basis. The video has become the accepted basis of truth of indoor mold contamination, medical potentials from mold exposure, and the basics of remediation. Because the video series is produced on a neutral and verifiable level, it has served to unify the previously scattered opinions on the issue. The video series has been used to train thousands of employees and protect the health of many thousands of families since its creation. The fair and conservative views presented by the wide variety of internationally respected experts created a base of knowledge that the mold remediation industry has been built upon.

Tokyo Monster Control is a Miami-based Punk/Power Metal band comprising former members of the bands Coffin Caddies and Twice the Sun. The current line up consists of Rei Horror on vocals, Jsin Awesomo on Lead Guitars, Danny Silence on Bass and Zeus on Drums.
Biography
The band was formed in the summer of 2008 while recording with Producer Paul Trust at Bieler Bros Studio's in Pompano, Florida. Originally the songs were to be a new Coffin Caddies E.P., however, due to the band's evolving, more commercial sound, it was decided to re-name the band "Tokyo Monster Control". Unlike its predecessor, which was primarily a horror punk band that dealt with video-game and comic-book oriented themes, Tokyo Monster Control use a blend of punk and power metal styles, with the lyrics covering more "real life" subject matter. On October 31 2008, immediately after their final performance in their home town of Miami, Florida, The Coffin Caddies released a statement on their MySpace page, stating that they would be going on permanent hiatus, to focus on their new project.
On December 17 2008, after 6 months in the studio, the band completed recording and started playing local shows around the area. By the beginning of 2009 the band was getting local press and drawing large crowds at their home town shows. At the same time the band was performing free concerts all around Florida for Relay For Life, a national event that raises money for the American Cancer Society. By March 2009, the band had over 1,600,000 search requests on Google.com and was contacted by Hot Topic and asked to do a series of in-store signings and performances to promote their upcoming E.P "Addiction", which was released on May 23 2009. The band is scheduled to headline a major college campus tour in 2009 to promote their new album.
