How to Avoid The Dangers of Mold

Leading health authorities agree that living or working in a building with mold damage increases your risk of developing respiratory disease. Yet there are no accepted national or international standards for mold investigation, evaluation, or remediation.

Given the many complexities surrounding mold and that each person’s response to mold is unique, people often fail to recognize the signs of a potential mold issue and how indoor air quality issues can promote mold growth. Mold can grow anywhere with adequate moisture, meaning high humidity or flooding can increase your risk.
