The NORMI™ Certified Environmental Educator is a trained professional who has been educated in the areas of Indoor Air Quality and Water Purification. The CEE is educated in the major categories of indoor air pollutants and drinking water pollutants and understands the various technologies available to solve each. The CEE is trained to take a global environmental approach to evaluating indoor pollutants and is skilled in offering solutions to real problems, not just symptoms. He understands his limitations and is not able to offer the more advanced solutions of a NORMI™ Certified CIEA but he is able to offer incremental solutions toward the ultimate solution to the following problems:

Indoor Air Quality-Indoor air contaminants are separated into FOUR major categories of pollutants-particulates, odors, gases, and biological contaminants. This level of training enables the CEE to identify the present levels of these pollutants in indoor environments and evaluate their effect on the occupants. The CEE is then trained on the technologies that are available to address each of these pollutants. The market is currently flooded with air products that claim to address these pollutants but each of these products uses one or more of the following technological processes and these processes are discussed as to their effectiveness and limitations-filtration, ionization, ozonation, ultra-violet, photo catalytic and radiant catalytic processes.

Drinking Water Pollution-Water quality is under great scrutiny as municipalities scramble to find new ways of purifying raw water. The pollutants in drinking water are generally categorized into THREE major classifications-particulates, chemicals, and biologicals. The introduction of the chlorine in the early 1900s produced an entire class of by-products known as tri-halomethanes, many of which are carcinogenic. Biological contaminants are becoming more hearty and prolific and the EPA standards for chemicals address only a few of the thousands of chemicals currently present in finished drinking water. Hormones, nicotine, anti-biotics and other unwanted contaminants are adding to the problem of finding good quality drinking water. There are many water products on the market that attempt to address these concerns. The CEE is trained to understand the benefits and limitations of those technologies and processes. The processes under discussion include filtration, distillation, bottled water options, reverse osmosis, ultra-violet, and ozonation.

In each of these areas, the problem is identified and the solutions evaluated. The CEE is more knowledgeable about indoor air quality and water purification than most salesman who promote some specific product. The CEE is a trained professional driven by his desire to help people with the truth about solutions that truly work.
