Mold

What are molds?
Molds are microscopic organisms that naturally occur in virtually every environment, indoors
and out. Outdoors, mold growth is important in the decomposition of plants. Indoors,
mold growth is unfavorable. Left unchecked, molds break down natural materials, such as
wood products and fabrics. According to the Center for Disease Control, exposure to damp
and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects, or none at all. Some people
are sensitive to molds. For these people, molds can cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation,
coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or, in some cases, skin irritation. People with mold
allergies may have more severe reactions. Immune-compromised people and those with
chronic lung illnesses, such as obstructive lung disease, may get serious infections in their
lungs when they are exposed to mold.
What factors contribute to mold growth?
For mold growth to occur, temperatures, indoors or outdoors, must be between 40 degrees
and 100 degrees Fahrenheit and also have a source of moisture, such as humidity, standing
water, damp materials, etc. Indoors, the most rapid growth occurs with warm and humid
conditions.
