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.
