Toxic mold is the name given to several types of mold that invade homes, commercial buildings, and schools, causing illness and triggering asthma. There are several types of mold that can cause illness, including:

  • Stachybotrys Atra
  • Aspergillus
  • Chaetomium
  • Penicillium

Toxic mold has been linked to a number of illnesses and conditions, including:
Asthma - mold can trigger asthma attacks.
Sinus infections - in 1999 mold was discovered to be the main cause of chronic infection, and this statistic holds true today.
Brain damage - memory, learning, and concentration difficulties may occur after exposure to black mold.
Cancer - certain strains of aspergillus mold release toxins that can cause cancer.

Unfortunately, it is often extremely difficult to distinguish between toxic molds and those that don’t pose a risk. Most types of mold appear quite similar---black or gray sooty patches. The good news is that even if toxic molds are in or around a home, most homeowners remove them through normal cleaning before they are able to grow to a size where they would pose a threat.

Regardless of the type of mold that is found in a particular home, the relative safety of those inside depends on the size of the mold manifestation. The danger level occurs when mold reaches a size of roughly 2 square feet. Also of concern is if mold has infested household items like insulation, drywall, or carpet. If so, these materials should be immediately extracted and the source of the dampness or wetness should be fixed. When replacing these items, it is best to use a non-cellulose and low nitrogen replacement material.
