Molds

Comments

 
Picture
Molds are forms of fungi that can be found almost anywhere, indoors and outdoors. They can grow on virtually any organic substance, as long as moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation. Different types of mold - black, green, white and orange mold, toxic mold, allergenic mold - are present all the time around us and in the air we breathe. Molds can appear fuzzy or in slimy streaks. The most common indoor molds are Cladosporium  (textiles and dump materials), Penicillum (wallpaper, decaying fabrics, carpet, and fiberglass duct insulation), Aspergillus (house dust)  Penicillium, Aspergillus (house dust), and Alternaria. commonly found inside nose, mouth and upper respiratory tract . It can cause allergic responses.

Molds are associated with musty or earthy odors.  In low levels, molds and mold spores are generally harmless but if their levels increase they can affect people; especially people with allergies, asthma and respiratory conditions or suppressed immune system.
