Where can Mold be found?

Mold is a bacterial substance that can grow on virtually any organic substance, as long as the moisture and oxygen conditions are met. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, especially if the moisture accumulation remains unaddressed. Although mold can never truly be eliminated, it can be maintained indoors by controlling moisture levels.

Why is Mold hazardous?

Molds have tiny spores that can become airborne. They can be extremely difficult to filter out and can stay suspended in the air for lengthy periods of time. This allows the spores to be inhaled, which can lead to:

·         Headaches and/or fever

·         Skin rashes

·         Coughing, wheezing

·         On-going flu like symptoms

·         Diarrhea

·         Asthma

Low amounts of mold species are able to produce toxins if proper food sources are available. People vary in their sensitivity to the concentration of spores in the air. Children, elderly people and people with compromised immune systems are the most vulnerable to the effects of spores, but healthy people can have reactions to high concentrations.
