Mold: it's a word that can instantly cause concern for any homeowner or renter. Fungal and mold spores are a common occurrence in both indoor and outdoor areas. There are certain fungi and mold that are linked with indoor environments, specifically in warm and damp conditions. Often unseen but with a pervasive presence, mold is not just an unsightly issue—it can also have significant impacts on indoor air quality and health.

Health Risks of Mold

Some people are highly sensitive to mold and fungi. Some can suffer from nasal or eye irritation. Others feel nausea, sneezing, nose bleeding, respiratory infections, and skin irritation. Children and some individuals with severe allergies can develop serious medical problems. People who are suffering from chronic lung illnesses, like obstructive lung disease, may develop mold infections in their lungs (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
