A study undertaken by Hooper and others found that simply removing a person from a contaminated environment wasn’t enough to end mycotoxins’ hold on the body.

While much work remains to unravel the complete connections between different mycotoxins and their impacts on humans, researchers at RTL have isolated 15 that are strongly associated with indoor environments and human health concerns.
