A Look at
Mold
With increased media exposure and lawsuits, we've been
hearing that mold -- especially black mold -- might create
health problems. While there is no conclusive
scientific evidence that mold does create serious health
problems, it is apparent that mold can create allergic
reactions, asthmatic reactions, skin rashes and other
symptoms.
Generally, you can detect mold in your workspace or home by
smelling it or seeing it. There are some mold tests available in the
marketplace that can help you find mold, especially if it is
coming from the airducts or vents in your home. If you
are renting property, you might want to have your landlord or rental
agency remeidiate any mold problems, particularly if you
suspect that you have health issues.
The best thing to do is to prevent mold from growing in
your home or work space in the first place. If you have
mold growth due to water damage, leaking or other causes, we
have included some tips
on how you can remove the mold growth.
