Mold Remediation

What does the EPA say about mold?

Mold are ubiquitous in the biosphere, and mold spores are a common component of household and workplace dust. The vast majority of mold is not hazardous to humans, and reaction to mold can vary between individuals, with relatively minor allergic reactions being the most common. Nonetheless, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported in its June 2006 report, ‘Mold Prevention Strategies and Possible Health Effects in the Aftermath of Hurricanes and Major Floods,’ that “excessive exposure to mold-contaminated materials can cause adverse health effects in susceptible persons regardless of the type of mold or the extent of contamination. When mold spores are present in abnormally high quantities, they can present especially hazardous health risks to humans after prolonged exposure, including allergic reactions or poisoning by mycotoxins, or causing fungal infection (mycosis). Whether it is a cold, damp winter or a warm, humid summer, activities at home can result in moisture indoors and the appearance of mold. Mold can grow on walls, clothes, books, toys, and even CDs.

It can turn prized possessions into musty relics that only look fit for the garbage. Mold health issues are potentially harmful effects of prolonged exposure. Exposure to high levels of mycotoxins can lead to neurological problems and in some cases death. Prolonged exposure, e.g., daily workplace exposure, can be particularly harmful.

If you detect mildew growing in your carpet, upholstery, or other surfaces it is important to act fast, to reduce the risk of health problems. Don’t disturb the mold. This will keep airborne mold particles to a minimum. Try and keep away from the moldy area, and turn off the air conditioning, to avoid the transfer of mold to other rooms and to the air conditioning system.
