Mold is a growing concern in today’s society. National media attention has brought mold and the various health concerns associated with mold to the forefront of today’s environmental contaminants.

Molds can produce allergens, irritants and potentially carcinogenic mycotoxins. However, for each individual the effects associated with mold exposure can range dramatically.

The following is a list of health effects connected to mold exposure:

Headaches

Eye Irritation

Asthma/Emphysema

Confusion

Fatigue

Skin Rash

Sinus Infection

Dizziness

The short answer: everywhere. Mold is ubiquitous to our environment – therefore it is all around us in the air we breathe. Mold becomes an indoor air quality concern when there’s more mold growing indoors than naturally occurring outside; or if the mold found indoors is different from the mold found outside. In either of these scenarios there is a potential for mold contamination and adverse health effects.

Mold needs water to grow. Therefore mold is most commonly found in buildings with water-damaged building materials. Here are some common places to look for mold in your building:

Basements

Attics

Crawl Spaces

Bathrooms
