Got Mold? Frequently Asked Questions About Mold
What are molds?
With more than 100,000 species in the world, it is no wonder molds can be found
everywhere. Neither animal or plant, molds are microscopic organisms that produce
enzymes to digest organic matter and spores to reproduce. These organisms are part of
the fungi kingdom, a realm shared with mushrooms, yeast, and mildews. In nature, mold
plays a key role in the decomposition of leaves, wood, and other plant debris. Without
mold, we would fmd ourselves wading neck-deep in dead plant matter. And we wouldn't
have great foods and medicines, such as cheese and penicillin. However, problems arise
when mold starts digesting organic materials we don't want them to, like our homes.
How do molds grow in my home?
Once mold spores settle in your home, they need moisture to begin growing and digesting
whatever they are growing on. There are molds that can grow on wood, ceiling tiles,
wallpaper, paints, carpet, sheet rock, and insulation. When excess moisture or water
builds up in your home from say, a leaky roof, high humidity, or flooding, conditions are
often ideal for molds. Longstanding moisture or high humidity conditions and mold
growth go together. Realistically, there is no way to rid all mold and mold spores from
your home; the way to control mold growth is to control moisture.
How can I be exposed to mold?
When molds are disturbed, their spores may be released into the air. You then can be
exposed to the spores through the air you breathe. Also, if you directly handle moldy
materials, you can be exposed to mold and mold spores through contact with your skin.
Eating moldy foods or hand-to-mouth contact after handling moldy materials is yet
another way you may be exposed.
How can molds affect my health?
Generally, the majority of common molds are not a concern to someone who is healthy.
However if you have allergies or asthma, you may be sensitive to molds. You may
experience skin rash, running nose, eye irritation, cough, congestion, and aggravation of
asthma. Also if you have an immune suppression or underlying lung disease, you may be
at increased risk for infections from molds.
When necessary, some resourceful molds produce toxins in defense against other molds
and bacteria called mycotoxins. Depending on exposure level, these mycotoxins may
cause toxic effects in people, also. Fatigue, nausea, headaches, and respiratory and eye
irritation are some symptoms that may be experienced from exposure to mycotoxins. If
you or your family members have health problems that you suspect are caused by
exposure to mold, you should consult with your physician.

How do I know if I haye a mold problem?
You may have seen white thread-like growths. or clusters of small black specks along
your damp bathroom or basement walls, or smelled a "musty" odor. Seeing and smelling
mold isa good indication that you have a mold problem. However, you cannot always
rely upon your senses to locate molds. Hidden mold can be growing behind wall
coverings or ceiling tiles.
Common places to fmd mold are in areas where water has damaged building materials
and furnishings perhaps from flooding or plumbing leaks. Mold can also be found
growing along walls where warm moist air condenses on cooler wall surfaces, such as
inside cold exterior walls, behind dressers, headboards, and in closets where articles are
stored against walls. Rooms with both high water usage and humidity, such as kitchens,
bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements are often havens for mold. If you notice mold
or know of water damaged areas in your home, it is time to take action to control its
growth.
How can I control mold growth in my home?
Fix any moisture problems in your home:
o Stop all water leaks first. Repair leaking roofs and plumbing fixtures. Move water
away from concrete slabs and basement walls.
o Increase air circulation within your home, especially along the inside of exterior
walls, and ventilate with fresh air from outside. Provide warm air to all areas of
the home. Move large objects away from the inside of exterior walls just a few
inches to provide good air circulation.
* Install and use exhaust fans in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
.. Ventilate and insulate attic and crawl spaces. Cover earth floors in crawl spaces
with heavy plastic.
* Clean and dry water damaged carpets, clothing, bedding, and upholstered
furniture within 24 to 48 hours, or consider removing and replacing damaged
furnishings.
o Vacuum and clean your home regularly.
