Mold and Health Problems

Mold related health problems are real.  Excessive mold growth and moisture in your home or business can contribute to health problems for you, your family, co-workers, employees, or tenants.  In the last decade or so, hundreds of important, research based documents have been published that describe the multitude of health problems that can result from indoor mold growth and moisture.  Some of the most respected and mainstream documents can be viewed or downloaded from our wiki in the mold and health problems section.

Don’t risk your health.  If you believe that you, a loved one, or others in your life are experiencing health issues related to mold or moisture, contact a professional.

What are the Symptoms of Mold Exposure?

Sufficient epidemiological evidence is available from studies conducted in different countries and under different climatic conditions to show that the occupants of damp or mouldy buildings, both houses and public buildings, are at increased risk of respiratory symptoms, respiratory infections and exacerbation of asthma. Some evidence suggests increased risks of allergic rhinitis and asthma. -2009 World Health Organization — Guidelines for Indoor Air Quality — Dampness and Mould
