Mold and Air Quality:
|
Molds are tiny, microscopic fungi that reproduce by forming spores. These spores, when airborne, are hard to filter out and can be inhaled. Some of the symptoms of mold inhalation are: headaches/fever, coughing, wheezing, runny nose/sinus problems, hypersensitivity, pneumonitis, and asthma. Most molds are not hazardous to healthy people. However, too much exposure to certain molds may cause or worsen conditions such as asthma, hay fever, and allergies.
What to do for a mold problem The best way to treat mold is to correct the underlying cause of the mold, so that it does not return. Typically, mold grows in moist environments, and is often caused by water damage that may be unknown to a homeowner. You can print these helpful mold tips for homes and apartments.
