[Greenbuilding] Dry ice blasting mold remediation

[John Salmen]

Anything that makes mold spores airborne is counterintuitive or simply crazy
- like trying to dust with an air nozzle.

There are a lot of decent antimicrobial enzyme based products out there that
do a good job of killing mold and spores but the real issue is removal and
control of the air quality during removal (just as harmful dead or alive).

Someone told me that they blasted dry ice to remediate mold in a basement.
Any experience or comments on this regarding its efficacy, effectiveness,
safety, and "eco" attributes from the chemicals involved?  On the surface it
sounds rather genius, but I'm wondering about unintended consequences.
