I just want to say thank for changing her life! Full Testimonials The Facts About Mold There has been a dramatic increase nationwide in concern about mold and health effects. The term "mold" describes more than a million species of microscopic fungi which grow on wet organic matter. When excess moisture is present mold problems can spread and proliferate rapidly. Mold spores are everywhere, including the indoor environment. Under favorable conditions, spores germinate and mold colonies grow and multiply. What Are the Health Concerns with Mold? Molds can produce a variety of allergenic substances, odorous chemicals, and toxic metabolites. When it multiplies and spreads indoors, high levels of mold can cause a spectrum of health effects to include Hearing loss, Vomiting, Memory loss, and Asthmatic lungs. The best way to identify a mold problem is by visual inspection and following odors. If mold (any type) can be seen or smelled, a mold problem exists. About Mold Molds are microscopic fungi that live on plant or animal matter. No one knows how many species of fungi exist but estimates range from tens of thousands to perhaps three hundred thousand or more. Most are filamentous organisms and the production of spores is characteristic of fungi in general. These spores can be air-, water-, or insect-borne. Molds can be found almost anywhere. Molds can grow on virtually any substance when moisture is present. Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce, just as plants produce seeds. Mold spores waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually. When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, even dynamite. When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed. Molds can trigger asthma episodes in individuals with an allergic reaction to mold. How do molds affect people? Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, exposure to molds can cause symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, or wheezing. Some people, such as those with serious allergies to molds, may have more severe reactions. Severe reactions may occur among workers exposed to large amounts of molds in occupational settings, such as farmers working around moldy hay. Severe reactions may include fever and shortness of breath. People with chronic illnesses, such as obstructive lung disease, may develop mold infections in their lungs. Where are molds found? Molds are found in virtually every environment and can be detected, both indoors and outdoors, year round. Mold growth is encouraged by warm and humid conditions. Outdoors they can be found in shady, damp areas or places where leaves or other vegetation is decomposing. Indoors they can be found where humidity levels are high, such as basements or showers.

A new medical study attributes nearly 100% of chronic sinus infections to mold. A 300% increase in the asthma rate over the past 20 years has been linked to molds, as reported in USA WEEKEND, Dec. 3-5, 1999. A 1994 Harvard University School of Public Health study of 10,000 homes in the United States and Canada found half had conditions of water damage and mold associated with a 50 to 100% increase in respiratory symptoms. Last year Dr. David Sherris at the Mayo Clinic performed a study of 210 patients with chronic sinus infections and found that most had allergic fungal sinusitis. The prevailing medical opinion has been that mold accounted for 6 to 7 percent of all chronic sinusitis. [The Mayo Clinic study] found that it was 93 percent-the exact reverse. [Newsweek, 12/4/00] Most homeowners believe that as long as they do not see visible signs of mold, that is, patches of green, blue, or black discoloration on surfaces, their environment is free of contamination. What they don't realize, however, is that large accumulations of [hidden or concealed] mold may be growing in areas that they cannot see, like remote attic or basement spaces, or wall cavities. Left to multiply, these infestations may produce enough organic compounds to cause allergic reactions, sickness and, in extreme cases, death (a possibility with infants), wrote Edward R. Lipinski in HOME CLINIC: The Battle Against Mold and Mildew, NEW YORK TIMES, Sept. 12, 1999. All molds have the potential to cause health effects. Molds can produce allergens that can trigger allergic reactions or even asthma attacks in people allergic to mold. Others are known to produce potent toxins and/or irritants. Potential health concerns are an important reason to prevent mold growth and to remediate/clean up any existing indoor mold growth, noted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 03/01. Because the effects of toxic mold (Stachybotrys) are similar to Alzheimer's Disease [in such ways as the loss of memory and ability to think logically], it is possible that relatives and friends of toxic mold victims think that their relative's memory losses and mental diminishment is a sign of advancing age, or of the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Medical researchers strongly believe that environmental factors help trigger what is ultimately a genetic condition. [USA Weekend, Aug. 31- Sept. 2, 2001, p. 6] Mold Resources The following mold resources will help you understand the health and environmental issues with indoor molds, controls, prevention, and remediation. Molds, Toxic Molds, and Indoor Air Quality U.S. Environmental Protection Agency New Residential Mold Guide California Research Bureau Reports Molds, Toxic Molds, and Indoor Air Quality Minnesota Department of Health - Mold in Homes Investigating Mold in Minnesota Public Schools WHAT EVERY HOMEOWNER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MOLD Linda Bien Mold Not so long ago, the only image that word created was of something fuzzy growing on a forgotten leftover, somewhere deep in the recesses of your refrigerator. More recently, however, mold has acquired a more foreboding image, that of an infestation that can threaten your home and your health. Both images are correct, actually, because there are many different kinds of mold. And for all the talk it's generating now among homeowners, insurers and health-care providers, mold has been around forever. That's because, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, mold spores constantly travel through the indoor and outdoor air. If these spores are exposed to moisture, they can grow, digesting whatever they're on, to reproduce. Outdoors, this process plays a key role in the breakdown of leaves, wood and other plant debris. "In the forest, it's nature's recycling plan," says Lloyd Osgood, a senior microbiologist who analyzes mold for Environmental Laboratory Services in North Syracuse. Indoors, however, mold growth can damage any number of surfaces, particularly those with cellulose in them, including drywall and carpeting. Also, some molds have been linked to respiratory problems, particularly for those who suffer from allergies or asthma or who have a compromised immune system. But you could have mold and not experience any effects on your health. Susan Anagnost, a wood-products biologist at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, says there is a great deal of ongoing research studying mold. Anagnost says much of the research examines three categories associated with the inhalation of molds: allergens, infections and toxins. Many homeowners have heard of one type of mold in particular, stachybotrys (pronounced STACK-ee-BOT-ris). Although it's not the most common type of mold and requires a longer exposure to water than other molds, it is among the most toxic and has been linked to memory and hearing loss as well as bleeding in the lungs. Stachybotrys was also the type of mold in a well-publicized case where a Texas homeowner won a $32 million judgment in 2001 against Farmers Insurance Group, that has since been reduced to $4 million. Locally, in 2001 the Onondaga County Health Department confirmed stachybotrys in at least two condominiums at Village Green, near Baldwinsville, although random testing of more units ruled out a larger problem, says Gary Sauda, the department's director of environmental health. Stachybotrys forced Mary E. Hamilton from her condominium at 736 Village Blvd. S. in October 2001. Hamilton, 75, who had lived at Village Green since 1986, is suing the Hartford Insurance Co. and the Village Green Homeowners' Association. The homeowners' association, her suit claims, failed to correct defective cedar siding and roofing materials that led to a moisture problem that allowed the infestation of mold to grow inside her wall cavities, and the insurance company refused to cover the cost of cleaning up the mold. Hamilton, who lived with her daughter for more than a year, moved back to the condominium in early December 2002. "I needed to get back in my own home," she says. "After you live on your own for 24 years, you need your own space." Hamilton says she's spent approximately $45,000 over the last 14 months to deal with the mold, an amount that includes having the mold infestation cleaned. Hamilton says her expenses are likely to increase, because many items in her garage still need to be evaluated and cleaned, if possible. Bob Krell, president of IAQ Technologies, Inc., a Syracuse indoor air quality company, performed Hamilton's "remediation," the industry's term for cleaning a mold infestation. In Hamilton's case, the mold was growing inside a wall. Krell built a containment structure around the repair area to limit airborne spores and removed the infested materials, including drywall, insulation and carpeting. Often, sight and smell are the first signs that mold may be present, although mold also can grow undetected inside a wall or in areas where access is limited, such as a crawl space. Hamilton's first clues, she says, were on her bedroom carpet, where she found water and some orange spots. Later, there was a strong musty odor. She also experienced respiratory problems, including itchy eyes, a runny nose and a sore throat. "As long as I was gone, I didn't have those symptoms," Hamilton says. "The minute I would come back home, they did too." Dealing with mold depends on how much mold there is and where it's located. If you have a large area, or mold that's inaccessible, you should hire an experienced indoor air quality consultant or a remediation specialist to investigate. Krell and Osgood also say the underlying cause of the mold must be addressed, or it will return. Because mold spores germinate where there is excessive moisture, look for the cause of the moisture and correct it. Proper ventilation is crucial because it keeps air moving and controls your home's moisture levels. Ventilation should be to the outside and not to areas where moisture can collect and mold can grow. Osgood frequently finds mold on the underside of roofs, in attic crawl spaces. "Be sure the vent pipes from the bathroom go through the roof and out of the crawl space," Osgood says. "Otherwise, you can grow orchids up there." Recommendations Use high-efficiency furnace filters, which are designed to trap more pollutants, and be sure they fit properly. Expect to pay more (up to $12 each) for such filters than for ordinary fiberglass filters. Use a vacuum cleaner with True HEPA filtration. Have your air conditioner and furnace serviced regularly and consider a germicidal air purifier. Do a visual inspection of your home's exterior. Clean your gutters and unclog your downspouts. Check your landscaping to be sure that water drains away from your home. Mold on the web There are dozens of resources to help homeowners and renters prevent or clean up mold in their homes. Here is a partial listing of some sources accessible via the Internet: The Environmental Protection Agency. The agency has a Web site devoted to mold, and it contains a handbook called "Mold, Moisture and Your Home."
