Toxic Mold

There are as many as l00 common mold varieties that can grow indoors and cause problems. One of the most common types is the black mold known as stachybotrys atra. Stachybotrys produce airborne mycotoxins, which can lead to a range of side effects including: breathing problems such as asthma attacks, allergies dizziness, flu-like symptoms, allergies, skin rashes, and fatigue. In a study conducted by Harvard University that surveyed 10,000 residential homes, mold was found to produce a 50 to 100% increase in respiratory problems.

A study done by the Mayo Clinic concluded as many as 37 million sufferers of chronic sinus infections may be able to attribute it to mold. After a leak, water damage or plain poor construction that allows dampness in the interior of a home or business structure, the mold grows rapidly. In many cases the structure lacks adequate ventilation leading to moisture buildup and mold breeding areas. The mold spreads on wood, tiles, drywall, paper and carpet, it is often out of sight growing behind walls or under floors. In many cases the problems have forced homeowners to leave or even condemnation of the home itself. Even if you are not a home over and rent you can still recover for toxic mold.
