medical literature. 
(B) CONTENTS.—The study conducted 
under subparagraph (A) shall ascertain— 
(i) detailed information about harmful 
or toxigenic mold that may impact the 
services and those living on military instal-
lations, as well as any toxin or toxic com-
pound such mold can produce; 
(ii) the most accurate research-based 
methods of detecting harmful or toxigenic 
mold; 
(iii) potential dangers of prolonged or 
chronic exposure to indoor residential mold 
growth in residential areas on military in-
