Did you know that…
Toxic mold can
seriously damage your lungs and central nervous system?
The mold
Stachybotrys “produces very potent chemicals that can cause brain
fogginess,
tremors, [and] problems with the memory” while Aspergillus
can cause cancer. Other molds
produces
allergens that can trigger allergic reaction, chronic sinusitis, and
asthma attacks.

Dampness and Inadequate Ventilation are Two Causes
of Microbial Pollution
From the World Health Organization
in its report WHO Guidelines for Indoor
Air Quality: Dampness and Mould, published July 16, 2009
The presence of many
biological agents in indoor environments
is attributable to dampness and
inadequate ventilation. Excess moisture on almost all indoor
materials leads to growth of microbes,
such as mould, fungi and bacteria, which
subsequently emit spores, cells,
fragments and volatile organic compounds
into indoor air. Moreover,
dampness initiates chemical or biological degradation of materials,
which also pollute indoor air. Dampness has therefore been suggested
to be strong, consistent indicator of
risk of asthma and respiratory symptoms
(e.g. cough and wheeze). The health
risks of biological contaminants of indoor
air could thus be addressed by
considering dampness as the risk indicator.
Several widely acknowledged global
trends contribute to the conditions associated
with increased exposure to dampness and
mould:
►energy
conservation measures
that are not properly implemented (tightened
building envelopes, ventilation
deficits, improper insulation);
►urbanization (migration, building type
and density, urban degradation, housing
availability and
social inequity); ►climate
change (increasing
frequency of extreme weather conditions,
shifting of
climate zones); and
►the quality and globalization of
building materials and components,
construction concepts and
techniques.
These conditions increase the risks of
adverse health effects due to biological contaminants of indoor air.
Airborne Mold
Spores (colony-forming units)
The airborne concentrations of viable fungi in indoor environments
are usually in the order of a few to several thousand colony-forming units (CFUs)
per cubic metre of air. In a given space,
concentrations of fungi are highly variable and depend on such factors as:
climate and season, type of fungus, construction, age and use of the
building, and ventilation rate. They also depend largely on the sampling and
analytical methods used, making valid comparisons between studies difficult.

Mold-Related Instructional
Reading Material
Information is free. It is gathering and
interpreting the information that cost time and money. You can find a lot of
information on mold, its health affects, and how to deal with it. Trying to
understand the information is another matter. The medical and scientific
terms used by the better sources may be difficult to those who do not have
sufficient background in biology and chemistry. By getting your own copy of
these plain English instructional reading materials, you can enhance your
knowledge on what toxic molds are and how to avoid and prevent them from
growing in your home or workplaces. All mold-related e-books are
revised
2009 updated editions.
